I can think of lots of places that would love your sewing notions.

Home Ec programs in schools, local theatre groups, sell them by lots on ebay or other online sale sites, give to a charity that gives sewing supplies to Africa, donate them to Sew Powerful, where they make purses and supplies for girls' monthly time.

With sewing bags, and totes being all the rage nowadays, you can easily sell the zippers in bulk, plus snaps and various trims.

The quilting came after the business sold but all the other things????? OH, and rolls of ribbons, tapes, etc etc etc. Any suggestions? (I'm 80 and she's 88...so think we need to start sizing DOWN!)
