Hi Minnie,
The one person who comes to mind is unapam... she is always repurposing items and may be able to guide you in the right direction..
My idea would be to take the fabric into a fabric retailer... ( one of the top class ones) you dont have to buy it from them ... but they maybe able to guide you in the right direction....
here are some contacts you might be able to try...
www.fabricsireland.com 181 Parnell st Dublin 1 01 878 6161
www.blogcatalog.com
www.vintagefabrics.com
www.b2bfreezone.com
hope you get what you are looking for ...
