I have fabric scraps left over from various sewing projects. My fabric scraps would best be used as stuffing for pillows, stuffed animals, etc…

If you have use for them please let me know.

The reason why comments are closed is written in that entry you mention. Here is the important part pasted in below. I had to suspend comments to that entry because no one was reading it.

Post amended 6/17/08
This is the last straw. If you post here, you are a guest in my home. Every home has house rules. Unfortunately, no one feels the rules apply to them. They didn’t even bother to read them. The instructions were specific:

* Leave your email address in the body of your comment
And
* Only hit the SUBMIT button ONCE.

Everybody wants scraps but too few follow instructions. I have to delete twenty of these a day from people who either don’t leave email address OR, they hit submit seven times (no joke) and then I have to login, delete the entries and rebuild the entire site. This takes a lot of time and processing power on the server. I am happy to do favors if I can but it’s gotten to the point that it’s taking up too much of my time and server resources. I regret if this inconveniences people who are considerate but I really don’t know what to do anymore.

Iow, if people had read the entry before posting, it’d still be live now.

I was trying to post my request for fabric scraps to “the original entry” as suggested above. However, I could not find that “Post a Comment” space at the bottom of the page unlike this one. The only thing I saw on that page is “Email to a Friend.” Can someone help me?

My mother reciently passed away. She had quite an abundance of polyester fabric. I am looking to donate the fabric to someone who can use it to make blankets, clothes, etc. for people in need. Please contact me if you are interested. Also not having to pay postage would be a blessing.

I work for a textile company and often have scraps of panel and seating fabric. If anyone is interested in using this left over fabric for a good cause, please contact me.

In case members haven’t had a chance to review it, I posted some operations suggestions in the forum. As Vesta mentions, the recipient must know they will have to process the scrap on the receiving end. But, there are ways to develop a partnership with organizations that make sense for all involved.

Thanks for this, Kathleen. A note for posters: it is very, very helpful to know if someone is willing to take apart samples to get to the fabric scraps.
