what to do with fabrics

[aimeekitty]

I have several cute fabrics that I haven't been able to sell. (or haven't tried to sell yet) What should I do with them? I'd hate to just throw them away.

Easy suggestions please, oh mighty internets?
(I might throw them away,... I don't have time... I want a clean house!)

You might try etsy.com It's my favorite crafting website and I'm sure someone would want your fabric!

Doctor Who plushies for future Christmas presents?

if you want something else for it you could always try Craftster.org and see if there is a swap you could participate in.
otherwise... ebay?

Hmm... Depending on what the prints are like, maybe you could use them for some little projects?

Have you ever seen this book? Omiyage: Handmade Gifts from Fabric in the Japanese Tradition I bought it from Amazon recently and haven't made any of the projects in there yet. But some of them are really cute and I was thinking it would be the sort of thing you'd love. :-)

I really dont have time though, I have way too many fabrics and I don't think I'll use these soon enough for me to warrant keeping them. thanks though! I've seen that book and think it's lovely! :)

Donate them to a local school, teachers can always use fabric for projects.

It's even tax deductable!

I recently got rid of like 3/4 of my fabric by offering people boxes of it in flat rate boxes if they would pay for shipping. It worked really really great!

If nothing else you could donate them to a charity store, or send them to be recycled...

Sell jersey fabrics to me! I can make hoodies! :D I'll even come over to pick 'em up so you don't have to go through the post office and stuff :D

And I have to agree about donating them somewhere like a school. Fabrics are expensive and school budgets are sadly small.

Have you tried making a post on LJ yet? Either in your own journal or in a sewing-specific community?

Post them again, I'm more flush with cash right now :D

What fabric do you have left? I need something goofy/pretty to line my next corset with. :) I'll buy what you've got if it works!

Try selling online. I may even buy some depending on the price. I'm trying to pick up a craft for extra money.(need to make up for gas prices)

BTW love your icon. Its one of the cutest I've seen.

What and how many yards?
