FABSCRAP Brooklyn Warehouse

Dec 2nd, 2023

This place is magical. I had my list of things I was looking for, and somewhere along the way lost myself in digging through the barrels full of one-off prints and trims and laces. If you need leather of any kind, get it here. I scored some yardage of performance fabric as well as a myriad of scraps by the pound to make patches and sleeves out of. Make it easy on yourself and follow the directions in the place descriptionnot the Google-generated directions.

Fascinating visit. Excellent place for any creator or make that might ever use fabric. Make an appointment and visit to shop or volunteer. So many fabric options including mendable clothes.

Such a great gem for fabric shopping! And theres so much variety. I made an appointment online to shop before coming. Make sure to read their directions on how to get there before going. They sell fabric by the yard, scrap fabric for $5/pound, salvageable clothing for $5/pound, and lots of notions. By the yard fabric is sorted by type. Scrap fabric is sorted by color. Theres lots of bins with buttons and elastic. I got loads of elastic for $1/yard. Scraps ranged in sizes, most were about a yard (not full width) from what I could see, but I found some that were 2-3 yards as well. Lots of leather/fur pieces too! The clothing is all damaged but can be mended or repurposed. Some have markings. I picked up some madewell dresses/rompers to repurpose into shorts and a J crew dress to use for quilting. This is a must go if youre into upcycling or making your own clothes! Once I sew through my stash, Im coming back to volunteer and get some nice knit fabrics I spied
