Our Social Fabric -Textile Recycling Initiative

Our Social Fabric is a non-profit Vancouver group that helps recycle excess fabric from manufacturers, the movie industry, and more.

Our Social Fabric is a 100% volunteer-run non-profit group based in Vancouver, BC. Since 2009, OSF's locations divert unused “waste” textiles from the landfill. We accept donations of unwanted fabric (and related materials) from designers, manufacturers, the film industry and individuals. We sell these materials to Greater Vancouver’s creative community for 10-20% of its original retail price. All

proceeds from our sales go to paying our business expenses. http://oursocialfabric.ca

We’re planning our weekend sewing and what better inspiration that a fresh batch of quilting cotton?!

This morning we added a large selection to the online store, with options for quilters, patchwork enthusiasts, and fabric collectors alike.

In this release, you’ll find a mix of quilting cottons perfect whether you’re planning a full quilt, building your stash, or looking for smaller pieces for patchwork projects.

As always, these fabrics are deadstock, which means quantities are limited and once they’re gone, they’re gone. If you spot something you love, we recommend grabbing it while it’s available.

Browse the full selection online now (https://oursocialfabric.ca/collections/quilting) or drop into store today between 3PM and 7PM! 🧵
