What Would You Give?
My 40 year old niece used to sew childten’s clothes to supplement their household income. Dresses, mostly, for little girls, so she used a lot of bright, fun fabrics.
Recently she had to take a full time job from home that pays much better, and came to realize she will probably never sew again for money. So she cleared her stash. She had a yard sale. Toward the end of the sale, her deal was “fill a plastic grocery bag for 2 bucks.”
Her mom came here for our daughter's wedding, toting about 25 yds of that fabric with her! Most are 1-2 yd cuts. I’d use them predominantly for donation dresses, quilts, and pillowcases.
She didn’t want anything for it, but I know her family struggles financially. I’d like to pay something but not sure what.
I am curious what you think would be a good amount to give. I’d say 75% of the stash is stuff I’d choose on my own.
