Don't Waste Threads

Cool People Care » » Don't Waste Threads

Do you have an old shirt that someone has threatened to turn into a dust rag or a scarf that you’re pretty sure you’ll never wear? Want to do something beneficial with it instead of contributing to the 68 pounds of fabric the average American throws out each year? You could donate it to Wasted Thread, an installation for the Blend Studios Art Gallery at the Arcade in Nashville, Tennessee. After its stay at the gallery, the project will be sewn into clothing and sold to benefit a family in Cambodia. Take your old threads and make a difference.
