reducing textile waste
The Eco Fabric Boutique
Our impactful social enterprise program accepts more than 10,000 pounds of textiles per year, donated by our community and local businesses. We carry more than 200 rolls of top-notch quality fabric to choose from all sold at affordable prices. All proceeds go towards supporting our dual mission.
sharing our love for sewing
Public Classes Available
We are proud to offer sewing and textile classes to the general public to spread our love for the art of sewing. Whether you are a beginner or experienced sewist looking to improve your skills, we have classes designed for you and facilitated by expert instructors. All proceeds go towards supporting our dual mission.
Since 2002, we have been giving a new purpose to fabric and sewing supplies that would otherwise be thrown away. We are passionate about supporting our local circular economy.
Equipping women with skills to become a master seamstress empowers them to pursue their creative passions, generate income, and build community. We are a safe place for women to come together, learn, grow, and thrive.
We are showing the world a better way to do business that is inclusive, equitable, and environmentally sustainable. When women thrive, communities thrive.
