Try putting a lot of baking soda inside and let it set while your gone to the quilt show.

Would want to use it, though.
Thanks in advance,

Some of us might have to CARRY the little black dress, and actually WEAR a bigger one!
I went from a LITTLE black dress to a medium black dress when I started spending more time quilting.
Seamstresses know how to let out seams.
And the only time I actually give a RIP is when I quilt :lol:

Charcoal absorbs odors very well. You can buy activated charcoal on Amazon. Or, do as I did with my musty-smelling featherweight case. I bought a couple of charcoal-containing "Odor Eaters" shoe inserts and put one in the case.
