Second Stitch is the name we give to Stitch Buffalo’s sustainability program—because we give a second life to donated supplies no longer needed by other artists, crafters, and businesses. These supplies are integral to creating the products in the Refugee Women’s Workshop, and they are used as the basis for all of our classes and kits.

Any items we can’t use directly in Stitch Buffalo projects are are offered to the community at huge discounts—typically 75% OFF retail prices. We are committed to keeping these useful materials out of landfills and in the hands of local artists who can bring them to life in their own creations. All proceeds go directly to sustaining Stitch Buffalo programming.

Our pop-up sales like this even feature a broader selection of Second Stitch supplies from our archives—things that are not typically available in the shop, and often at even lower prices. Be sure to bring a re-usable (Wegman’s size) tote bag for our “$5 Fill-a-Bag” items, including LOTS of great new fabric!
