A Thrifty Notion

A Thrifty Notion is an online source for sustainable and secondhand fabrics. Since the practice of sewing was historically a household skill and was often used to re-make or repair clothing, we believe it can and should be sustainable. We encourage our customers to think before they buy – check their stash, sew with what they have, upcycle, and put thought into their projects. But we also know that deadstock fabric sitting in a warehouse somewhere isn’t doing anyone any good, so we are happy to provide a secondhand shopping alternative for thoughtful makers.

Most of what we sell comes from donations or leftover stock from businesses that close their doors, but we also curate a very special collection of new items. These include organic fabrics, hemp blends, and high-quality items from brands that we have researched and trust.

Happy sewing!
