Revived
Revived
When fashion designers, brands or apparel manufacturers cannot sell or use the fabric rolls that they have, the fabric is considered to be Textile Waste.
This is their second chance for revival.

This week’s midweek drop is full of beautiful lace trims, including some vintage pieces and lots of little details worth digging through.
Even if you’ve never worked with lace before, have a browse.
Something in there might be exactly the detail your project didn’t know it needed.
Join us every last Friday of the month for our Maker Sewcial at the FABCYCLE Flex Space.
Bring your UFOs, WIPs, or something brand new. Sit down, sew a bit, chat a bit, or just hang out.
We’ll have:
🧵 2 sewing machines
🧺 free scraps
🎒 space for your own weird and wonderful bits
There’s also a swap table, so bring something if you want, take something if you need.
Friday, 4–7pm. Come by.
We just put out 200+ vintage sewing patterns, tucked away in boxes for decades and now finally back out in the world.
Some are beautifully illustrated envelope patterns. Some still have that delicate tissue paper inside. Some feel like tiny time capsules from another era.
Flares, shoulder pads, menswear, eveningwear, silhouettes you don’t see every day, and the kind of cover art that makes you stop and flip through every single one.
Someone once bought these with a project in mind.
Maybe now it’s your turn.
Come by for a good browse because this one really is a bit of a treasure hunt.
Recently added a big mix of yarns in all kinds of fibres, colours and weights, including wool, cotton, acrylic and more.
Some are practical, some are fun, some are clearly meant to become a project the second you see them.
Good for knitting, crochet, little handmade gifts, crafty bits, trims, trinkets, experiments, and all the other reasons people mysteriously end up with yarn in their house.
Come take a look through the drop and see what wants to come home with you.
We added over 30 fabrics to the Buy One, Get One collection,
Which means there are even more good finds waiting to be discovered.
Have a browse, see what catches your eye, and maybe give a few of them the perfect excuse to come home with you.

We added a new option to make it easier to save your purchases to your Sewjo stash.
After you place an order, check your confirmation email for the 'Add to stash' button.
Click it, sign in or sign up, and then open the Sewjo app to see your stash.

It’s a bead-heavy Midweek Drop and the serotonin is unreal.
Plastic, glass, Swarovski, tiny seed beads, big statement beads — all that colour and texture doing that little “tickle your brain” thing the second they pour out.
Go peek. Your brain will light up. ✨

You loved Part 1 of our weird-but-useful fabric hacks… and we’re back with 5 more.
From burnishing linen with a glass jar to deodorizing fabric with vodka, this round goes even deeper into the experimental side of fabric care. And yes—they all work.

COMMUNITY
We opened a Facebook group called FABCYCLE SEWING GROUP!
This Facebook group is our community space to inspire one another, support our fellow makers, and mostly, to connect over the love of everything fabrics, sewing, and creating our own projects from textile waste.
We hope you accept this invitation to join as we will be posting sneak peeks, really cool (and often weird and wonderful) things we get, sewing challenges, and exciting updates! :)
