About recycling

My mailing materials are recycled. Much of the cloth I use is recycled. Some of my cloth is given to me by friends (and sometimes even people I don’t know) who know that I sew, and who would like to see their scraps (or lengths they’ve had in their closet for years) utilized. Much of my cloth is from old or cast-off clothing. All of the velour I use was formerly shirts or dresses or pants. I like using it – it puts me in touch with all the women who for centuries have made quilts of whatever is around.
