what does sincere studio do with donated fabric?

All donated fabric and materials help us create a community in which everyone can make something amazing! Most fabric will go to our fabric library where it will be accessible to all students free of charge. Another smaller portion of the fabric will go to our twice yearly pay-what-you-want sale. Income from our fabric sales will support Sincere Studio’s overhead costs as well as programs benefitting our community.

To inquire about donating materials to Sincere Studio, please email us at hello@sincerestudiopdx.org
