Do you have more fabric & notions than you know what to do with? Send fabric, zippers, thread, patterns, buttons, ribbon, etc. to #Lakota women on Pine Ridge Rez! Thx for helping me get the word out.

They are 3 hours round trip away from a store where they can buy fabric, plus they really can’t afford it but love to sew and quilt.

Flat rate boxes from the post office would be a good way to ship those!

Even just a few zippers or some bias tape in an envelope would be so helpful!

It sure is! Thank you so much for sending them #fabric Lynn. They'll love that. FFN holds sewing and regalia classes regularly and the sewing donations really help support them. ♥️

I live abroad, so this would be difficult for me, but my sister has the same fabric bad habit as me. I will have her send some!! She is also burying our childhood home in yarn. Maybe she will part with it. This is such a fantastic idea.

I have lots of fabric I'd like to donate and even a couple of unfinished quilts. Would they be interested in the partially completed quilts?

Bookmarking this! I just cleaned out my mother's sewing stuff, and it is way more than I can use or have room to store. Lots of thread and buttons, some other useful stuff.

Absolutely! The Oglala Lakota Children’s Justice Center on Pine Ridge Rez works with Lakota children who’ve been physically/sexually abused. That would be a perfect place to send them. I’ll DM you with their address. Thanks so much Jeanne!

I saw your post about sewing supplies.would you also be interested in some vinyl fabric? It is high quality fabric backed vinyl used for purses etc. what about fabric pieces. No scraps but not yardage. Big enough to cut shapes out of.

Thanks Lisa! I know they can definitely use the fabric pieces. I’ll check with them about the vinyl backed fabric and get back to you as soon as I get an answer.

Another question - would they accept donations of sewing machines (with manuals)? I have at least two I don't use that I could ship out there, if they want them. They work, but I was doing heavy-duty stuff, and one of the machines didn't cut it with denim and heavier fabric.

Holy cow - been looking for somewhere to donate fabric remnants and notions for at least five years. My late MIL left a pile, and I have a lot I won't use now I don't work outside the home. I'll copy the address and start tossing stuff in a box, I'm more than happy to do this with the excess!

Yes! I was going to do a separate spout about that but they can definitely use yarn and also completed granny squares that they will put together if anyone has those to send. Thanks for asking!
