2024 In-Kind Donations

We are honored by the support that we receive from the community at large. 

The Sewing Labs gladly accepts 'in-kind' donations of the following items:

• Fabrics: Quilting cotton, garment fabrics, drapery, and upholstery fabrics. We kindly request that the fabric is clean and free from pet dander or moisture. Pre-washing is not mandatory. While quantities less than a yard are accepted, we prefer not to receive small scraps.
• Interfacings: Used in our garment programs, clean interfacing (fusible if applicable) with viable glue is welcome.
• Notions: All types, whether new or gently used, such as thread, zippers, pins, snaps, Velcro, sewing machine needles, and hand needles.
• Tools: Any kind, new or gently used, including scissors, rotary cutters and blades, rulers, mats, seam rippers, marking pencils, papers, chalk, etc.
• Sewing Machines: We accept all kinds, whether new or gently used. It's important that the sewing machines are in working order, have the power cord, foot pedal, and potentially some accessories. Please note that we do not accept broken or non-working sewing machines or those missing power cords or foot pedals. Donated sewing machines undergo checks for proper functionality and are gifted to our students as they progress through our programs.
