SORT-A-THON 2023 IS HERE! ♻️ Sign-ups are live: https://t.co/X4tSyvvGA8 ! You can sign up to sort in 2-hour blocks (we recommend no more than 3 consecutive blocks). And as a thank you for your time, volunteers are able to take home 3 pounds of FREE fabric for every 2-hour block!

[FABSCRAP @FAB_SCRAP]

we ran the numbers 🤓 Last year the FABSCRAP team diverted AND redistributed 93,830 pounds of textiles for reuse! Instead of being sent to landfill, these fabrics ended up in the hands of creatives like yourself who could extend their life!

[FABSCRAP @FAB_SCRAP]

This month we're highlighting our repeat volunteer group @FreePeople for coming to help sort at our Philadelphia Warehouse earlier this month! These FAB sorters already have their next 4 sessions set on the calendar and we’re looking forward to seeing them back soon as April 💚

#throwback to this little valentine cutie found in our scrap bins 🥰❤️ Consider this our love letter to the whole FABSCRAP team! Thank you to each and every individual of Team FAB for all the laughs and smiles you bring each day, and for all of the inspiring work that you do.

More fabrics just in time for #NationalFlannelDay 😍 Flannel was first invented as a warmer, more durable fabric. It has traditionally been used in workwear, but is now a fashion staple. Let us know in the comments if there are other fabrics you’d want to learn more about?

[FABSCRAP @FAB_SCRAP]

Reuse projects incite partnership, support, and collaboration and though unquantifiable, the effects are significant! Have you had a reuse moment that inspired you to be more sustainable? Retweet and share!

[FABSCRAP @FAB_SCRAP]

Why is reuse FAB? We’ve run the numbers according to the CO2 calculation provided by the Journel of Textile Science and Engineering saving 10 lbs of fabric from landfill has the same CO2-reducing benefits as planting a tree! 🤓🌱

[FABSCRAP @FAB_SCRAP]

That’s also why YOU are FAB. Whether you are a designer, artist, or crafter, if you’re sourcing your materials from us, you are making a real, measured impact. What makes reuse especially unique aside from CO2 reduction, is how powerful creativity is in bonding our community.
