FAQ'S:

What kind of materials do you accept for redistribution?
We accept textiles (including offcuts and scraps), haberdashery, trimmings, buttons, zips, broken jewelry, packaging, sewing tools, and more. If it's creative and reusable, we’ll try to find it a new home. Not sure? Send us a photo or bring it in!
