60" Interfacing
Image by cinnachick
You are looking at a 250 meter roll of 60"(ish) interfacing. It was so tall I had to step out of my studio to get it all in the frame. But it's huge, huge! However, it is also cheap. It's made by a fantastic company in Germany and is far, far, far better than anything I've purchased or seen at any stores in person (this includes trips to the garment district in NY). And the best part about it, is how inexpensive it is. And this is why, if you're making goods to sell at retail you have to invest in wholesale products.
The most similar item I've found is made by a company named Pellon, it is their #30. If I purchase an entire 20" wide bolt with my wholesale discount it comes to about for a 15 yard bolt, or about a yard. Not too bad, right? Well, this is 60" wide, so the equivalent of 3 bot widths. And by purchasing an entire roll it is $ .95 per meter/yard. 95-cents for 3 times as much interfacing. And since it is so wide, I have far less wasted interfacing. So, as some would say, this is a good thing.
Matthew Linwood House - 15 Brook Street, Birmingham

This is Matthew Linwood House, 15 Brook Street, in St Pauls Square.
It is also 42A St Pauls Square.
Number 42A St Paul's Square is a corner, four storey and basement former paper warehouse designed by Roger Harley, probably for Simmons and Son, wholesale paper dealers in 1890. Built of bright red brick with engineering brick and stucco dressings, the two facades have window bays articulated by thin brick pilasters rising from first-floor level to a dentil cornice. On the narrower St Paul's Square facade these pilasters articulate six bays of single windows, and the capitals and window heads have foliate stucco detail. The longer Brook Street facade has seven bays of paired windows and only the capitals have foliate stucco details. There is a central office entrance on St Paul's Square, and to the left of this, a workers entrance to a rear yard in the re-entrant angle of what is in fact an L-plan building. The penultimate bay from the west on Brook Street has a wide loading door. As befits its original use a warehouse and the requirement for the floors to take heavy loads, the building has load bearing walls with heavy transverse wooden beams carried by wall piers and by intermediate cast-iron columns. These broad columns are in a central rank on each axis and have bulbous capitals beneath a square box frame around the beams. The building has been heightened by the addition of a fifth storey and converted to apartments.
It is a Grade II listed building.
