I was looking for donations of cotton fabrics to make pillowcases for soldiers. I recently asked a friend if she knew of any anyone in her circle of friends that no longer sewed that might have cotton they would be willing to donate to me for my project. Her best friends mother died a few months ago and they told me I could have her stash. The mother was 90 years old and sewed a lot. I was very excited. They brought me a huge bags and boxes of fabrics. What I got was the older type fleece, wide nylon in all colors (wide enough for sheets) 2 boxes of lace trim, and tubes of cotton knit. This fabric is from a store that sold fabric from the Vanity Fair factory. I did find a few small bundles of cotton and a bonus tray of thread.
What can I do with this stuff? Any suggestions out there for me. I do NOT want to sew anything out of these fabrics.
