An op shop for fabrics!

6 August 2025 by Danielle

🎉 Welcome to the Most Creative Treasure Hunt in Town! 🎉

Say hello to the Resource Recovery Centre at Creative Community Space, where old fabrics and crafty odds and ends get a second chance at life. It’s like an op shop for fabrics!

Instead of tossing unused fabrics and haberdashery into landfill, the Resource Recovery Centre gives them a second act. If you are a beginner looking for fabrics that don’t break the bank, or if you have been sewing for years and love finding a long forgotten gem, you need to pop on over!

Join your circular community and swap your textiles and sewing supplies. Visit one of our shops and bring up to 5 items from your stash that you no longer need. Whether it’s textiles, patterns, or crafting tools, we welcome contributions that are in good condition and suitable for reuse.

🤝 Who’s Behind It?

Creative queen Katrina Naish, a textile visionary with 20+ years in fashion, founded this social enterprise to make waste stylish. Alongside her team—including print-artist educator Jodie Stephens—they weave sustainability into every stitch.

🚫 Donation Pause Alert! Before filling the car, check if they are taking donations. The shelves (and storeroom!) are often bursting at the seams with fabric and they hit pause on donations while they catch up.

Double-check the trading hours [click here] and plan your visit to the fabric ReStore, Ivanhoe East or Creative Community Space, Greensborough.
