Destashing after all the building.
For 9 years I have been building my "stash". Now I am going through box by box and taking out yards of fabric I know I will never use. I have compiled 12 medium flat rate boxes for donations of fabrics I have left over from projects past. Which I will PIF on this board. I have decided to continue box by box until I have "only what I love". Any suggestions are welcomed. I do love to fold my fabrics.

I believe postage for medium flat rate boxes is over $12 nowadays. For 12 boxes, that would come to close to $150. Instead of mailing PIF, you might want to donate the fabric to local charities and donate the $150 to a food shelf. It would help a lot more people that way. Just a thought.....

I agree - it would cost an arm and a leg to ship all of those boxes. I recently sent a smallish flat envelope with a few fabric scraps to a lady on here from New Zealand and it cost me over $12.00.

It costs 12.35 to mail a medium flat rate box in the U.S.
