About FABSCRAP Brooklyn Warehouse
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.
Reviews
Volunteered at FABSCRAP in Bay Ridge and had such a great experience. They work with companies to keep fabric scraps out of landfills, sorting through about 6,000 pounds a week, which is pretty amazing.
The shift was about 3 hours, the staff was super friendly, and the music made it really fun. You also get to take home up to 5 pounds of fabric after, which is such a cool perk if you’re into anything crafty.
Highly recommend checking this out if you’re looking for a unique and meaningful volunteer opportunity!
