Two projects for unloved fabric:
There is a nursing home facility in our city where the residents are very needy. A quilter cleaned out a lot of fabric by sewing a new pillowcase for every one of the 40 residents. They loved them.
Potholders for a food pantry. Thrift store flannel sheets make good padding. A new pair of clean potholders are well received & a morale booster.
Any more ideas ?
