If so, what new things have you made? If not, why not give it a try? Terry B Posted at 9:08 a.m. on 11th February 2024     I love UR idea. But why don’t U give UR old clothes to people in need? I even give away the most expensive things I don’t wear anymore. So I can help the environment while giving something useful to people in need.
