​​Fabric Recycling/Repurposing

Cleaning out your sewing room? Have what-was-I-thinking quilting fabric that you'll never use? Wondering how to recycle that bag of scraps?  Don't through these things away - find a new purpose for them!

• Nimble Fingers takes donations of fabric (clean and odor-free, of course), sewing notions, and gently used equipment to use for making service projects or to sell at our annual yard sale.  Contact Kathy Torg at Quilting4Others.
• Contact member Annette Montone for fabric scraps that are at least 6 inches square.
• Got bitty scraps? Contact member Luanne Lindeman, who collects these for pet beds. 
• Project B Green, an organization that supports many local 501 (c)(3) charities, accepts fabric.
• Last resort? The Montgomery County Transfer Station has bins for used clothing and fabric scraps in the parking lot for Electronic Recycling.  Put clothing and scraps in separate plastic bags.
