No Longer Accepting Sewing Stuff At Our Goodwill :(
 

It's organization time and so I took a lot of sewing tools and fabric that I no longer wanted to our local Goodwill. Sadly, they said that they are no longer accepting sewing goods. I don't know if this applies to all Goodwills, or just ours. The items were still in good condition, clean and very usable. I don't belong to a guild, and the closest guild is over an hour drive away, so I guess I'll just throw them away. Our local fabric store is also closing. I guess no one around here is sewing anymore. So sad!

Please put them in the Free Offers or Offers section here. I know there are people who would gladly scoop them up, and even pay postage if you didn't want anything for the items.

I think it is reasonable to ask to be reimbursed for the cost of postage/shipping.

Good idea! Will do...thanks.

Before you throw all the usable stuff away, call your local church. Many of them have quilting groups and would love anything could give.

or the senior center if you have one. or maybe a girl scout troop or 4-H?

or carry them to a local thrift shop... or list them on eBay. I hate to see useful stuff just tossed. Maybe that's why I've got such a huge stash and tons of sewing things I've kept for years because I may need that someday. I really have to get rid of some stuff... maybe tomorrow!!

Lots of good ideas. Don't throw them away!

I can tell you that the local 4-H club here is always GLAD to get sich items.

I donate nothing to Good Will, haven't for years. They are picky about everything and are not what they once were. I take all our donations to Salvation Army or local church thrift shops. I don't shop GW either, expensive and find prices of some things more than you can buy them for new, such as $1 soup mugs from Dollar General. GW was asking $2. Unbelievable.
