Shop Sustainably in Our Makers Mart

A community favorite, items in the Makers' Mart change daily. You'll find an assortment of fabrics, notions and trims, patterns, yarn, and so much more.

We receive 1,700 pounds of donations a week from generous donors like you! Most of these items are resold to the community for $2 a pound in our Makers' Mart. The rest of the items are used in sewing classes at no additional cost for our students.
