What to do with scrap?

If you are looking for someone who wants your scraps, please scroll down and select your beneficiary and contact them via email. Please do not write me asking who you should give it to. Select someone according to need or zip code closest to you.
If you are looking for scraps, you can leave a comment but make note of this one simple rule or your comment will be deleted.
-
Leave your email address AND zip code in the body of your comment
Did you catch that? LEAVE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS AND ZIP CODE IN THE BODY (TEXT BOX) OF YOUR COMMENT. I had to close off comments for a very long time because I had to delete twenty of these a day from people who either didn’t leave email addresses or, they submitted seven comments in a row and then I had to login and delete the entries. If you submit two or more in a row, I will ban you. This site is alive and tended hourly. I will notice. Deleting comments takes a lot of time and processing power on the server and besides, I am annoyed when people I’m doing a favor for, cannot remember one simple rule which is (all together now) …leave your email address in the TEXT BOX of the comment form…and not just in the little form where it says to put it. Otherwise, other visitors cannot contact you. Thanks! I hope this message takes otherwise I’ll close this free service down again.

Kathleen,
I am a home sewer and sometimes quilter and a fan of your blog. When I read your blog this morning I was reminded of this ongoing scrap recycling “project”:
http://www.nepanetwork.com/magicmik/
I don’t know any more about Magic Mike than what is on his website. I have never requested a box of scraps (goodness knows I have a large enough collection of my own). This seems to be a labor of love, of sorts; Mike does not appear to be making a profit. I don’t know that Mike can take on MORE scraps, but his success proves to me that there is a market, of sorts, for scraps like this.
I also heard the NPR story this morning about Joseph Abboud and remembered his story from your blog. I’m glad he and his methods are getting some national exposure.

Hi everyone, I was thrilled to receive a phone call from Kathleen today. She mentioned someone had posted a link to my Magic Mike’s Scrap to Wraps Project. BTW, that link is actually to an older version of the site, the newer version is posted at http://www.nepanetwork.com/magicmike/ if anyone wants to see how these scraps are put to good use. Many people use them for community service projects like making quilts for kids in hospitals, homeless people, even clothes for migrant worker’s children, etc. There is a whole list of projects that people have already completed and even some photos to show some of these projects.
Because of some complications from my past brain surgery, I am no longer able to pack and mail the boxes of scraps. However, I will be happy to post a link to this blog so people looking for scraps can leave a message here and someone who has scraps available may be able to help them out.
The poster will pay the shipping costs so it does not cost the person sending out the scraps. This may not seem very important, but if you send out a number of boxes at 50 pounds each, it can run into a few hundred dollars for shipping costs depending on what state they are going to.
I will try to have the people state what they will use the scraps for so you can decide if your scraps will work for them.
I think this is an excellent offer and I really appreciate it. I really miss being able to save scraps from the landfills and this will help me feel like I am still contributing to that cause.
If anyone would like to find out what the people who received my scraps thought of this project, just visit the newsgroup rec.crafts.textiles.quilting and ask if anyone has ever heard of Magic Mike’s Scraps project and you should get a few responses. You can also search the archives of the newsgroup and see hundreds of messages regarding this project and how the people felt about it.
In advance, thank you Kathleen for contacting me and to everyone for considering this project.

As a teacher at the Fashion Insititute of Technology in NYC, I have made several connections with accessories manufacturers to ask them to give their leather scraps and old season sample room supplies of leather skins to our accessories program. It has made an enormous difference for new students just learning to not have to spend so much money on leather. Also the quality is excellent as most is imported. Please remember to donate to fashion schools if you have sample yardages that are taking up too much space. Elementary school programs like scraps sometimes for art projects. In NYC there is “Media for the Arts” which which is run by the garbage company to recycle useable various “media” for teachers all over the city. If you are a teacher you can walk in take a shoppping cart and pick out anything you need for your school projects free of charge. I’ve had manufacturers ship hundreds of pounds of buttons and trims for others to use.

Just another idea to consider.

I use scraps to make bags, accessories, and wearables. I am looking for additional sources of material, I am willing to take test garments apart, but do not want damaged materials.
If we opened a scrap net work, a website that connects scrap users to scrap producers, would there be an interest? What sort of terms and conditons would folks want?
Please feel welcome to email me your ideas…and offers of fabrics! wynclute@comcast.net

Quilters can use scraps as small as 3 inches or so. It just depends on the individual quilter. Other people make carft projects and are always looking for small scraps.
If you have scraps available, just post a message here and once the word gets out, you should get some requests for the scraps.
I suggest the requestor should send a check or money order for the shipping depending on the size of the package. I request their zip code and how many pounds of scraps they want. This way you will get the shipping money up front and can even wait for it to clear if it is a personal check.
I used to have people that would request at least a box every month. With repeat customers you can usually tell whether a check is good or not.
I have posted a message on the rec.crafts.textiles.quilting newsgroup and some of the members there may be stopping by to figure out how to get some of the scraps available.
Good luck with your scraps.

I am an artist that makes art dolls, and I am also a quilter in the wintertime. I just found out about this site, and I would really appreciate any scraps you could send. I would love more bizarre types for my dolls- anything really- tapestry, fleece, leather, silk, etc, and 100% cotton for my quilts. With this save from the landfill and my wallet (minus the shipping), I hope to share my quilts and dolls with more people, and I may start making pet blankets for my puppies, friends and shelters. Thank you so much!

Hi, I went back to Magic Mike’s page hoping to get on the list as I’ve finally got a little bit of money to pay shipping.
Mike I’m praying for your healing.
As for scraps, I live in VA and I’ve called just about every manufacturer around here and they all told me, except one in NC who promised to send me a couple of boxes and never did, that they no longer do inhouse cutting.
What I’ve been working on are crocheted rugs and I’m also working on some quilts. I’m disabled and can’t do much but occassionally I do a craft show to try and raise some extra money.
I’ve been dumpster diving for a lot of my fabrics and it’s time consuming but I’m thankful for it.
I’m also learning to make my own shoes and bras. I can’t afford to pay the cost of the special clothing I need. Last time was $30 for a lousy bra. My feet are also messed up so I’m learning to make fabric shoes with a ton of padding with extra wide width.
So the kinds of fabrics I can use are as follows:
cotton
cotton/poly blends
denim
wool
batting
suede
spandex or lycra or blends
If you have the cuttaways for the selvages where there’s long strips I can definitely use those!
I only get a little money once a month. My hubby’s on disability for his heart. So I can save up the money for shipping but it’s only once a month that I can send anything unless I can find someone to buy a rug or something.
I appreciate it!

Greetings to you;
I came across another site that directed me to your site. I quilt baby blankets for charity and also make fetal-demise pouches for our local hospital. I would need 100% cotton fabric. I live in the 29710 zip code area. I am not sure how much it would cost to ship or if I could even afford the shipping. What are the size ranges of your scraps? I was just trying to figure out if this would even work for me. The fetal-demise pouches are about 14 inches square. I thank you for your time and God bless you, Darlene. InspiredbyJesus@yahoo.com

Must move to the country to take care of my elderly folks, and am working on getting a cottage business going (making shoulder bags from repurposed materials). Looking for sources of scrap fabric (say, minimum 48 square inches up to whatever size). Bits of trim materials, gauzy stuff and ribbon, buttons, etc. would also be welcome. Prefer primarily natural content, especially earth tones. Am particularly interested in: strong repetitive designs, lots of tactile texture, rugged woven fabric, upholstery fabric, tightly woven medium to heavy weight intricate prints. Will pay shipping. Would love to hear from you - please put SCRAP FABRIC in the subject line. Thanks! karinbeij@yahoo.com

Hi,
I live in London, UK and make patchwork quilts and dolls house quilts and bedding - just can’t stop making things! I’ve made so much over the years that, in spite of working as a curtain maker, I am beginning to run out of interesting fabrics.
I would love to get any light(ish) weight cottons or silks scraps that anyone wants to get rid of - I will pay postage if not too much - ie not too big a parcel from USA! The silk scraps particularly can be as small as 2″ square.
Any ideas gratefully received.

We are the International Non-profit charity http://www.quiltsforkids.org . with over 50 chapters across North America we are always in need of kid friendly cotton fabrics to make into quilts that comfort children in need.
We take the Quilt and Home Dec. Fabric industries unwanted cottons and make them into crib size quilts that comfort children in need. These are children who face long hospitals stays with life threatening illnesses, such as cancer and AIDS, as well children of abuse.
At the moment we find ourself in need of your help.
In linking with the major fabric companies, We have saved millions of pounds of discontinued and unwanted fabric from landfill. Our problem is that we tend to clean them out and are left either scrounging or purchasing fabric to keep up with the demand from Children’s Hospitals for quilts for their sickest chidlren.
We have 500 requests or more monthly
from hospitals and individual children needing quilts.
If you have any fun brightly colored kid friendly cotton to gift we’d be grateful.

Hi! How exciting! My friend and I are young mothers (I have 4 children and she has 2.) trying to earn some extra income for our families.
We are looking for scraps of silk, velvet, curdoroy, and velour, as well as silk lace, buttons, and embellishments for crazy quilting. Toile and seersucker also interest us. Any ribbon or lace scraps would be greatly appreciated. Silk necktie scraps would be great, too!
A variety of fabrics would really make the kind of projects we are working on come alive. The more unique, ornate, fascinating, classic, antique, or vivid the better! We are committed to recycling and promoting a green lifestyle and reflect this in our work. We want our work to be a tactile experience, as well as a feast for the eyes.
Thank you so much for sending us anything you can! We appreciate it OH SO MUCH! Please e-mail us at elijahmadron@mac.com and the zip code is 21613.

I make blankets for children in the foster care system in Riverside County, California. Over 500 blankets need to be made this year! Scraps of cotton prints or any flannels would be so appreciated!
Many thanks! arianakimes@aol.com

Greetings from Texas:
I am a recycler here in Texas, I take clothes and fabrics that people don’t want and make something new with them (like purses and kids clothes) and give them away. Please keep me in mind when needing to get rid of COTTON FABRICS of ANY COLOR.

Hi! I’m interested in the idea of making my own clothing. As a modest teen in the modern world, it’s hard to find cute, comfy, affordable clothes. There are several clothing stores out there that aren’t too expensive, but the options tend to leave your sense of style less than Grandma- or even Mom-approved. I’ve never really made anything complex, a pillow here and there or a simple purse, so I’m concerned about wasting expensive material and what little money I have while practicing. Pretty much any material will do. Thanks so much!

If there are any businesses or manufacturing plants out there willing to send scraps for quilting, I will pay postage for medium size package. My zip code is 55765 and e-mail is sandyt@frontiernet.net

Hi everyone!! Just wanted to say this scrap sharing idea is brilliant! I’m a fashion student and getting my hands on fabric is 1.) expensive and 2.) not very easy because all the other students are trying to get fabric too. If anyone needs to get rid of any fabric scraps I would be very happy to take them off your hands. My email is rocker.cutie@hotmail.com.Thanks again for reading my post!!

I have been reusing my old clothing for fabric but after a while things get too old and pieces get too small to reuse.

Please put me in contact with any companies that have: cotton, cotton blend, denim, fleece/flannel, cordoroy.

Hello to all the ECO fabric lovers! I have a Hemp clothing business and have many hand dyed scraps in various colors. The fabric is a hemp/cotton blend..similar to that of a 7oz linen.
Most of the scraps are in big triangle pieces, as my designs are cut on the bias. amandamoon13@yahoo.com

ok so after reading more carefully the instructions above i realized i left out my email address in the body of this message. my apologies!! it is chubsdiapers@yahoo.com I make, sell, and donate cloth diapers. i could really use some help with materials since cloth diaper materials tend to get pretty expensive.i use any tightly woven fabric,things that will soak up liquid well, like fleece,knit, terry, cotton,and PUL 1 mil or 2 mil is great for waterproofing. i live in colorado 80906 and will love for forever if i am able to pay for you to ship me some scraps : ) dont worry if you dont think the scraps are large enough for a diaper i make patchwork looking ones to in those cases : )
