Discover fabulous fabrics, yarn, and sew-
ing supplies at the SewGreen Store in downtown Ithaca. Quilters, crafters, and designers will love our unique selection.		 Learn to sew! SewGreen offers classes for children, "tweens," teens, and adults. Our primary focus is on learning to successfully use a sewing machine.

We assess, clean, oil, and tune-up older sewing machines – or show you how to do it yourself. We also refurbish donated machines and often have a few for sale.

 Our apprenticeship program is free to qualified teens who have a “passion for fashion” or want an after-school job. We are also recruiting for college internships.

VOLUNTEERS WELCOME SewGreen operates with about half paid and half volunteer staff. We cannot function without our dedicated volunteers. Store and classroom volunteers typically make a once-a-week commitment of 4 or 5 hours. We provide training, but it is helpful to have knowledge of sewing or knitting, and working with fabrics. Teens, college students, and community members are welcome to apply. DAYS FOR GIRLS SewGreen was proud to again partner with two Cornell University departments recently on a project to make reusable feminine hygiene kits for girls in impoverished regions where modern supplies aren’t available. Students and community volunteers completed 100 kits, which have been shipped to Days for Girls International for distribution.  WE NEED DONATIONS! Holiday shoppers put a serious dent in our store stock. The shelves are filling up again, but we need more. If this is a good time to clean out that stash and donate unwanted fabric, yarn, and sewing supplies, we will happily accept it. Donated materials are used in our classes, resold to support programs, or given away. Please follow the guidelines.
