FABSCRAP Brooklyn Warehouse is a non-profit organization dedicated to reusing textile waste. They offer convenient fabric pickup services for NYC businesses and provide a space for the local creative community to engage in fabric reuse. Located in a warehouse accessible via the N/R subway lines and several bus routes, FABSCRAP offers a unique shopping experience. Customers can browse a wide variety of fabrics, including by-the-yard options sorted by type, scrap fabric sold by the pound, and salvageable clothing also sold by the pound. The warehouse boasts a treasure trove of materials, including buttons, elastic, leather, and fur pieces. Shoppers can find remnants of various brands like Madewell and J.Crew, perfect for upcycling and repurposing projects. FABSCRAP also welcomes volunteers to assist in the sorting and processing of donated materials. While the warehouse can be a bit challenging to reach, the vast selection of fabrics and unique finds make the journey worthwhile. Be sure to follow the directions provided on their website, as they differ from those generated by Google Maps. It's recommended to wear comfortable shoes and consider bringing a mask, as the environment may contain dust and allergens.
If you enjoy upcycling clothes and creating with fabric and notions, GO to Fabscrap! It's worth it. Warning: if you lack self-control around fabric, you might want to avoid this crafty jaunt. 😄

I come here to buy my fabric for projects. Its super far and honestly not cheaper than buying new, but definitely good for the planet so I think we should support them!
