Is it too pretty to just toss into some gas station clothing drive box? But a bit too ripped or worn for the charity outlet fashion shop?
I knew a young lady back in LA who invented a new kind of stuffed toy. She always needed fabrics for the toy, and she was also crazy about buttons.
I also know a guy who was making a puppet or a model of a fantasy person he was going to create on line. Are you with me here?
And I'll bet there are plenty of puppet makers in LA or maybe anywhere near . . . I don't know, maybe a library where kids go to see puppets?
And for that pile of fabric languishing under the bed? Perhaps a school where there are plenty of festivals that require kids' costumes? I know of one of those, too.
There's always a place for clothes too pretty to leave on the porch where it will rain before the truck comes to pick it up. It takes courage to pull out the stuff, say goodbye, and take it to the right place. Don't forget to celebrate when you've done it!
