We're stocked with tons of beautiful Fall fabrics for all your sewing desires. No pre-registration will be required but we will be following all our standard safety protocols including face coverings, safe distancing and sanitizing. One of our wonderful volunteers will be at the door to ensure that we don't exceed our customer quota. (See below for accessibility notes)
OSF is Vancouver’s only non-profit textile recycling initiative – we are diverting textiles from the landfill and into the hands of creatives like you!
WOOL BOUCLE
Continuing with our "cozy coat" theme from last week, we're featuring some delicious wool boucle this week in black, charcoal and taupe/gray. Check out this beautiful black wool boucle shawl made by our Colleen featuring stunning designer buttons.
The shawl is matched with a scarlet-coloured turtleneck sweater made from the super-soft and versatile waffle sweater knit.
The Waffle knit's pattern runs both vertically and horizontally which creates a small square design and also provides that 'comfort' stretch. The waffle knit is brushed so it is super soft and luxurious on both sides. Comes in eggplant, wine, scarlet and navy,
QUILTING COTTONS
The quilting angels have blessed us with a large donation of quilting cottons ready for all those Christmas craft projects and stockings! You'll also find bags of "Fabulous $5 Finds" of quilting pieces and scraps, perfect for those scrap quilts and crafting projects.
Other Fabulous $5 Finds include Fill-a-Bag of Buttons, $5 Bag of Muslin Pieces and Fill-A-$5-Bag of Tiny Treasurers.
Looking forward to seeing you this Thursday at Our Social Fabric, 1275 Venables, Suite 270, Vancouver, BC.
