If I didn’t find a creative way to give these fabrics a new home, they would sit until they were eventually thrown away or incinerated.
I’ve been working with deadstock for over a decade. I’m still amazed at the amount of leftover fabrics the fashion industry discards daily.
In 2021, I left my job and started selling fabrics wholesale to a handful of clients. Indie fabric stores and small-batch clothing brands.
Even after selling large orders to customers— there were still so many rad fabrics out there waiting to be made into something.
After sharing my mission on TT, I was bombarded with requests. The quickest way I could think of— fabrics by the pound. Sold in different style aesthetics.
Featured here is 1 LB of ‘Grunge’. 2 mystery fabrics that, instead of going to waste, you’re going to use in your next sewing project.
