Find out if your project qualifies.
PLEASE NEVER SEND PROJECTS DIRECTLY TO LOOSE ENDS.
In order to qualify to have your project finished by a Loose Ends volunteer, the following criteria must be met:
The originator of the project must be deceased, or no longer able to finish the project due to illness or disability.
The project must be partially begun.
The project and its materials must be free of moths and moth eggs. We are unable to accept rotting or moldy materials.
The project must be clean, and not smell of mothballs or mold. If the original crafter was a smoker, we will match their project with a finisher who is OK with smoke.
The project owner must want the project back to keep.
A note about doilies:
Large Doily Projects (bedspreads & tablecloths)
We are not always able to complete large doily projects unless a substantial portion of the work has already been finished. However, if you have a small section of doily handwork, our finishers can transform it into a more manageable-sized keepsake (such as a table runner or pillow).
*** IMPORTANT: If you are submitting more than one project, fill out a form for each one separately.
Fine Print
Because Loose Ends finishers are volunteers, and handmade items take time, it may take a while to receive your completed project back.
In the event that a volunteer is unable to finish a project, we will do our best to transfer the project to a new volunteer who has the time and skill to finish the job.
Loose Ends is not responsible for any projects that get lost or damaged.
We do our best to match your project to a willing and skilled volunteer, but there is a chance your finished piece will have imperfections. We ask that you only submit a project if you are comfortable with this possibility.
