I am absolutely thrilled to FINALLY announce this exciting news! Thanks, It Has Pockets has partnered with local non-profit and creative re-use center, Scraps KC! Scraps has generously agreed to serve as a drop-off and pick-up location for local pocket orders. If you are local to the Kansas City metro area, you can place an order at www.pocketsthanks.com, and select "Local Pickup" instead of shipping, for just $5. 100% of the drop-off fee will go to Scraps KC to support their initiatives in helping the homeless community as well as working to prevent useable, creative materials from ending up in landfills.
Additionally, I (Madison!) will be teaching several classes at Scraps throughout the year on how to sew your very own pockets! My first class is coming up on May 22, and sign ups are open NOW! We have a very limited number of spots available for the class, so hurry and sign up if you want to participate. You can find the info on the class at: https://scrapskc.square.site/product/pocketsclass05222021/246
Lastly, I have started helping out in Scraps' textile department, where we sort, fold, and price all of the fabric that is donated to the center. There is an amazing team of volunteers that I work with, and it affords me access to a wonderful selection of re-purposed fabric to purchase and use for pockets. If you have ANY kind of sewing projects that you need materials for, I can't recommend enough that you come in to take a look at Scraps' selection. You will not be disappointed!
