I am just so tired of having all this bulk around that I cannot manage, and will never do anything with. I was thinking of just taking these boxes to the local half-way house run thrift store, but wanted y'alls input before I do anything. Any ideas?
Offer a drape making class? A "sew knits" class? You would have the advantage of the materials being available, and the knowledge. I'm a bit leery of just taking it to the thrift store because they might not know what to do with it, or its value.
On the other hand, it is very calming to get rid of clutter, and this stash is "clutter" to you. So you could donate it just to be done with it.
