SewGreen Teams Up with Significant Elements SewGreen is joining Significant Elements in a reuse collaboration, starting with this month's "Free Friday," June 19, 9 am to 6 pm, at the Significant Elements warehouse at 212 Center Street. Clean, folded, reusable fabric and other sewing materials will be added to the architectural salvage pieces Significant Elements is offering for free take-away.
Starting in July, items from SewGreen's "Rescued for Reuse" program -- mostly larger pieces of fabric suitable for curtains, upholstery, and utility projects, as well as refurbished sewing machines -- will be available for sale at the Significant Elements warehouse store. SewGreen's fine fashion and quilting fabrics will still be found at Tuff Soul, 516 West State Street. Significant Elements is a program of Historic Ithaca (www.historicithaca.org), the non-profit voice for preservation in Tompkins County and the Finger Lakes Region. SewGreen (www.sew-green.org ) is a non-profit community program that promotes sustainability through textile reuse and a rediscovery of sewing as a self-reliant skill. See our website for a list of summer classes for adults and kids.
