Beautiful Fabric & Notions

AT AFFORDABLE PRICES

Bronwen and Catherine have been friends for many years working in theater costuming together. When Covid-19 devastated the theater industry, it caused them to reevaluate their professional focus. Both of them have been interested in sewing education, ecological issues and service projects. This reclaimed fabric thrift store hits all of those notes.

Our mission is to…

1. help the creative community and the environment by bringing one-of-a-kind products back into circulation.

2. help individuals, families and groups find a home for stashes and/or hoards of fabric, yarn, sewing items, etc. that have become a burden to them.

3. teach sewing and fiber arts techniques to others to prevent these arts from becoming extinct.
