For Creativity with a Conscience-
Check out Fabmo, a local grassroots organization whose slogan is “Rescuing Designer Materials for Creative Reuse.”
Tons of beautiful designer remnants, samples and swatches are discarded every month in the Bay Area; Fabmo saves them from the landfill and brings them to you. All they ask is a modest donation and the promise you’ll give them a new life.
A great resource for teachers, artists, sewers, and parents of creative kids.
