Discover our commitment to sustainable creation!

We have a curated selection of donated fabrics, perfect for students eager to explore their creativity. While our designs and fabric types are limited, we prioritize eco-friendly sourcing by utilizing donated materials, dead stock, and project scraps. (We gladly accept donations to cover the cost of preparing these fabrics for class use.) Students wishing to bring their own fabrics are welcome to do so. Machines, threads, and tools provided.

For any student directed special project, we will provide a supply list for anything not on hand.
