Village Fabric Reuse Shop
Skip Navigation Website Accessibility


We believe in Ecological Responsibility and one way we show that is our reuse space. One the most sustainable ways to craft is to reuse materials. The textile industry is the second largest polluter on the planet, and our reuse space helps keep usable materials out of the landfill, and provides affordable, sustainable options for artists, makers, sewists, or anyone looking to create! 


We accept quality, awesome fabric and craft items to be curated and sold for reuse. 


How does the reuse space work? 

It’s easy as pie, you drop off your overstock, unloved, excess stash of goodies to the shop, see below for a list of what goodies we are currently accepting. We review your items within three to four weeks and give store credit to your account. We only offer store credit for items, no cash. We issue 50% of our selling price in store credit. If you’d rather donate your items and not participate in the store credit program, that’s fine too! We love donations and we will ensure that they find a good home.

We source our Reuse inventory from trade ins, donations, estate sales, thrift, and garment industry deadstock. 

What about the scraps?

For fabric scraps that are still usable but small, we have some scrap baskets. Anytime you bring something to donate to the reuse store, you can take some scraps. Also If you are purchasing other things from the reuse, you can throw in some scraps. If you only want scraps we have bags you can fill for a $1.
