We're big on sustainability and waste-reduction around here, and firmly believe that fabric and craft supply thrift stores are vital to building a sewing community that is sustainably minded. So, we built this fabric thrift store locator to help thoughtful makers find sources for sustainable materials.
This list is sorted alphabetically, and by state. If your state isn't listed, it's because we don't know of any creative reuse stores there. Please comment below or shoot us an email if there's a store you'd like us to add!
