We had a chance to visit another creative reuse organization recently and it was so lovely.

San Francisco has at least 3 creative reuse spots doing amazing work. We stopped by SCRAP on a Saturday and the line was out the door! Turns out they had just moved to a larger space and we happened upon their first day in the new space.

They had a large space filled with shelves and shelves of paper, wares, office supplies and a large wall of fabric. Everyone was talking about the workshop area in the back where folks could drop in to craft and there were special items behind the cash registers.

If you wanna check out creative reuce centers in your area, Stephanie has a wonderful and comprehensive list.

For sale.

We have 2 beautiful items for sale in the shop.

First is a vintage LeClerc loom. It is in really good shape, but still needs a little work. Don't fear, it comes with all you need to fix up the loom to be in perfect weaving shape. $175

Second is an antique Singer 201K sewing machine. It has been well taken care of. Just perfect. $200.

In other news, we are closed Saturday and Sunday for the holiday.

What? Sundays? Yup, Remakery will be open on Sundays from 12-4p.

Join us to sew this adorable fish pouch!

All materials, supplies and tools are provided at this free event. Use fabric scraps to add fishy details to a pouch. Sew it up and add a drawstring.

This intro project is good for all sewists. However. There are many steps and sewing curves, so previous sewing experience is encouraged.

Those 14 and younger should have an adult stay to help.

Note: some flyers incorrectly say 5-7p. 11a-1p is the correct time of the event.

Free swaps!

Bring your tees and jeans to swap at the Remaker Fair on April 25. We all have some t-shirts and jeans that we don't need and can share with someone else. Or if they have seen better days, t-shirt material and denim are both amazing for repair and crafting.

(Sidenote: there will also be a tie dye area and a mending station. So bring those clothes that need repair or a pop of color)

The next free craft supply swap will be at the Sustainability Expo on May 2nd.
Bring crafting materials to the expo or check out the pickings and take some crafting stuff.

Come sew the perfect sling bag with us.

This versitile, slouchy bag comes in 2 sizes and is based on the Bestie bag. It is great for those who have sewn a few projects and are ready to sew a zipper. It will take most of the 2 hours, so if you have not sewn before this might not be the project for you.

All supplies, materials, machines and tools will be provided.

Those 14 and under should have an adult stay for the project.
