Re: [h-cost] Disposing of fabric

[Carol Kocian]

 I found a place in the Philadelphia area where I BOUGHT hideous 
fabric from the 1950s.  Actually I think it's cool, a pink, black & 
gray (with a touch of turquoise) "modern" print for curtains.


 I agree that you should de-stink the stash and find the market 
for it.  Otherwise you could be destroying something that is EXACTLY 
what someone else is looking for.

And if it's just too hideous to inflict upon humans, your local animal shelter 
would welcome it to use for bedding or just rags.  The shelter is also a good 
place to donate clothes, towels, and sheets that are too worn out for people 
but still have some use in them.

  My local centre for the less able (!) is glad of scraps and odd 
  buttons and scraps of lace, braid and so on for their craft projects, 
  as is my local junior school (5-11 years.)
