Can anyone suggest where I can donate lots of fabric?

Hi everyone,I'm sorting out my store cupboards (it is Spring time after all!) and I wondered if anyone had any suggestions about where I could donate lots of bits and pieces of fabric?Basically, I've built up a huge stash over years working in costume hire and dressmaking, but I no longer have the house space for it all!  I would love for it to go to a good home (local craft/sewing group?) and I will probably try freecycle at some point.  I know that some local charity shops have fabric for sale, but I think I'd rather it went somewhere straight away to be used...rather than languishing in a bag for ages...like it has been in my cupboards...ahem...Any suggestions or thoughts gratefully received!

Can Derwentwater Primary School PTA (Derwentwater School Association) have it please.  We need fabric to make bunting and any donations would be fantastic.

Might be worth contacting the Acton Arts Forum (actonforum.org) to see if clothing weight fabric would be of help when it comes to making costumes for the Acton Carnival. They also run sewing classes at the Oaktree community centre on the S.Acton estate.

If there is any left after Jo and Lorna have had there dip can I have a few scraps for our school bunting.

Do you have any red fabric at all?  Our tiny new school, Holy Family in West Acton, would love to have it after our other posters have had their share.  Thank you!

Plenty enough fabric to go around for bunting-making, but I can't seem to message anyone except Jo, so anyone else interested, please feel free to email me!purpleverity@yahoo.co.uk
