Rags & More Up-Cycling Store is a new initiative of the Kootenay Up-Cycling Society and is offering used textiles an opportunity to be useful before heading to the landfill.
You can purchase t-shirts, denim, fleece, linens (e.g. bed sheets, table cloths), wool and acrylic sweaters, silk, and leather in bulk as well as reclaimed sewing notions (zippers, buttons, buckles). There are also finished goods and patterns/kits for making many useful household items, as well as fashion items to show off your Koot-nique style!
Do you already make goods from up-cycled materials? Are you looking for a place to sell them? Do you teach classes and are looking for studio space? Does your group have a project in mind that needs a host? Rags & More Up-Cycling is a working fibre studio, ready to host classes, crafting productions runs and textile related up-cycling projects.
The centre is located next to Positive Apparel Thrift Store and is currently open Monday, Tuesday and Saturday afternoons from 1 to 5 p.m. For more info, to become a member of the society, or to arrange another time to come to the centre please call 250-354-1290.
