Perry Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I have a big box of my kids' baby clothes that I've been holding on to, thinking that I might someday make a quilt out of them. I've finally realized that the quilt isn't going to happen. The clothes are in good shape, and are mostly from Gap, Old Navy, Gymboree, with a few things from Target. Do baby fashions change and go out of style? Would it be obvious that these are 17 years old? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 As long as they're not decaying, why not? My elderly relative gave me some used clothing that was ancient. I took a photo of them because they made me laugh and got rid of them. Sorry, but I can't handle buttons. I need snaps! My point is, some thrift store had that stuff, so why not yours?

hsbaby Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I'm sure they would be happy to have them. I would rather have older clothes than a lot of the "newer" styles I see there with stains all over them! I don't think baby clothes have really changed all that much and my oldest is 14!

Dobela Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Yes, some people prefer vintage clothing and collect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Classics are classics. As long as they're in good shape, why not? Probably better made than a lot of the carp on the market now. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Is 17 yo Gap/Target stuff vintage? I just thought it would still be usable and pretty standard, not that it was vintage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1bassoon Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 You know, Perry. . . . there are people who will make you a baby quilt, if you send the outfits to them. pm me if you want a website - I can probably dig it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some searching and found a bunch of websites. After looking at the pictures I think I might do it myself after all. So much for decluttering the basement. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Yes, they will take them. What they can't sell, they will shred and sell off for recycling. Win win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
