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! Classes for all ages start soon. New this winter: fashion focus for tweens, doll clothes, pattern making for
a pencil skirt, and fashion drawing.

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.

PREP NIGHTS SewGreen “prep nights” are open to volunteers who want to help out but not make a regular weekly commitment. We meet at the store from 6:30 to 8:30 pm on the first and last Monday of each month to fold, measure, and iron fabric; string buttons; sew; or do whatever needs doing. A good way to unwind and make new friends. No need to pre-register. Just show up! DAYS FOR GIRLS SewGreen was proud to 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.
