What to do with imperfect baby clothes?

[ClareC]

Having so far kept all my daughter and son's baby clothes, I am rapidly reaching the situation of having more kids clothes than Mothercare! Really do need to sort through it all.

The newborn/ young baby clothes are all barely worn and perfect condition so easy to rehome

My daughter does however have some outgrown clothes that although not at all worn out and loads of wear left, do have the odd mark on. Nothing major, just nit perfect. Seems very wasteful to bin these but then what can be done with them? Any ideas?

Give to charity or ask if any nursery would like them for spares?

Or give away free on here

I thought charity's only wanted the perfect stuff. I suspected that charities that actually use the clothes rather than sell them may be happy to accept them but wasn't sure..... Is there anywhere local that would use them?

The marks may even come out, maybe a soak in vanish, another wash and hung out to dry on a sunny day....

Can't say I have ever noticed baby clothes in the 3 for a quid box innthe hospice shop were 'perfect'

But you can surely freecycle them or give away via the edf...

My Mum voluteers in a charity shop - stuff too worn to sell goes in a rag bag & gets sold off by weight so the charity still benefits.

I think it then gets sorted & some goes overseas - Africa etc, some cut up for arts & crafts, some as rags for garages etc.

I'd say either to charity or give away as a job lot by age via the forum. Personally I think some less than perfect clothes are perfect for days when we are painting/doing art & crafts/off to the allotment etc.!!
