Q: I have about 170 yards of fabric in one to two yards denominations, folded very neatly in flats. It is my sewing stash that I would like to sell to someone or a store, etc. It consists of half quilting fabrics and about half baby prints for quilting or panels.

Also there is some tapestry and linen pieces. I make bags and quilts myself, but I just have way too much fabric and want to get on to doing other projects. Therefore, I would love to sell all this and get some of my money back.

Are you aware of any places that would take this fabric – even on consignment?

A: There really isn’t a business that buys fabric scraps. Your best bet is to put it up on KIJIJI or Varagesale.com and sell directly to someone else. If you want to donate it to some artists, you can ask at La Gaillarde on page 136 of my Smart Shopping Montreal book. Phone: 514-989-5134. Artists there turn it into clothing, accessories or whatever.
