I'm going to visit a house full of clean, high-quality fabric tomorrow that is headed for the dumpster.

For years I have been watching the success of Swanson Fabrics in MA. They built a successful business getting fabric hoards donated to them and they process and sell it all for $6/yard. Art & Fabric thrift stores are hot and on the rise. They will only be more successful with the closing of JoAnn and the state of the economy and (hopefully) the death of fast fashion.

I have the works of this happening on a small scale, but feel like I can't integrate this component into my business as I am strapped for space and energy.

Do you know someone who wants to open a "sister business" with me?

(I will be contacting Scrap4Art and ReStore as they are great resources, but not sure if they are ready for this volume.)

"IT WILL NEVER BE THIS GOOD AGAIN

WE LIVE IN A TIME OF RAPID CHANGE. IT HAS BECOME CLEAR THAT INDUSTRIAL TEXTILES WILL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS THEY WERE IN THE PAST 100 YEARS.

IT HAS ALSO BECOME CLEAR THAT READY-MADE FASHION IS A CRUEL INDUSTRY. IT IS CRUEL TO THE ENVIRONMENT, TO WORKERS, AND TO CONSUMERS. "-Swanson Fabrics

Is there any chance someone local has a scale they would like to donate or sell to my small business? I need to weigh packages for shipping purposes.
