De-Stash Your Studio challenge - week three check in
So my lovely readers, how is the de-stashing going? I’m still being a good little de-stasher and haven’t bought any fabric for myself. I will however need to buy some fabric to complete a commission… I’m not sure how this works into the De-Stash Challenge, but since it’s technically not for myself, will you forgive me?
So what happens if you’ve got fabric that you don’t want anymore?
You’re not going to just throw it out, right??
There are lots of different organizations who can use second-hand fabric! Ask your local women’s shelter, play schools, artist co-ops - there’s even a re-using center in my city that accepts fabric. Some stores even have a fabric recycling program - MEC will accept polyester fabric and turn it into fleece garments.

Thanks for posting this, because while there is always great places to find fabric, there comes a time or two when you need to de-clutter.
Crafting can really take up a lot of space and when you finally decide to get rid of something (like fabric) it’s nice to know there are places where someone can actually use it.

Blankets for Canada (the Edmonton Chapter at least) will take fabric and make it into quilts for people in need of warmth. You can check in your area at http://www.blankets4canada.ca.
Warmly,
Terri
