Default Getting that old musty smell out?????

I was given two large bags of fabric and clothes to use in quilts or whatever I wanted with them. They had been in the attic of a friend's grandmother. The Grandmother passed away over a year ago and they are just now getting to clean out her house.

I have let them air for about 3 weeks in our garage. Today I washed them twice. Once just with laundry detergent, the second time with laundry detergent and baking soda. The smell is still there.

Any suggestions on how to get all the smell out so I can use or donate these fabrics and clothes?

Thanks.
