At The Sew In Group, our Creative Reuse Centre is a vibrant community shop dedicated to the reuse and repurposing of textile materials and sewing-related supplies. It’s a haven for stitchers, crafters, and creators of all levels — offering a sustainable, affordable alternative to buying new.

​

Every item donated is carefully sorted and thoughtfully displayed, ready to be reimagined into something beautiful. With a constantly changing selection, each visit offers a fresh opportunity to discover something unique.

By choosing to shop with us, you're not only giving new life to surplus and preloved materials — you're also helping to reduce textile waste and support a more circular and conscious way of making.

​

What you may find:

• Fabric remnants, fat quarters, rolls, and offcuts in all colours and textures

• Yarn and wool for all your fibre craft needs

• Sewing patterns — both vintage gems and modern favourites

• Buttons, zips, threads, ribbons, trims and elastic

• Sewing machines, sewing machine feet, needles, bobbins, and accessories

• Haberdashery items — from tailor’s chalk to bias binding

• Donation-only specialty items from local businesses and makers

​

We also stock a small range of essential sewing tools to support your next project in the Sew in Kent Shop — making it even easier to get creative without costing the earth.

​

100% of proceeds from these sales are reinvested directly into our work, including free and subsidised sewing sessions, outreach projects, and creative programmes that support wellbeing and community connection. Every donation and purchase contributes to our mission of making sewing more sustainable, accessible, and joyful for everyone in our community.
