I was cleaning out an old house recently it's a foreclosure and found over 5,000 sewing patterns for womens, mens, childrens clothing. All still in the original packages. Does anyone know where i might sell these. Also, have about 200 bolts of various cloth and hundreds of spools of thread, bias tape up the ying yang.

I guess i could add the 3 singer sewing machines and sewing tables to the whole lot of sewing stuff too. Yard Sale would have to wait til spring. So will maybe photograph the stuff and list it on yahoo auctions as ebay charges to darn much.

I wish I could get a look at all that, BEFORE you put it out there to sell to others. What a treasure trove for someone who sews! A yard sale would bring in all types of folks. You have a specific product to sell. I would go with one of the on-line things.

I have sold stuff like that on Ebay and made quite a bit of money. It takes a long time to photograph and describe everything, but it's worth it.
You could also go to an antique shop in your area and ask them to buy the whole thing. I'll bet they would.
Or hold a yard sale and buy a newspaper ad saying what you just said. I'll bet sew-ers would come from far and wide. Just specify "no early birds" or they'll knock on your door at 5 AM!

You might try selling all of the patterns on eBay, as a lot. As to the fabric, you can sell that too on eBay. Another thought is to find some organization to donate it to. Our local community theater loves donations like that.

If you sell it on Craig's List, it's free, and you don't have to worry about shipping the items.
