Oh my goodness! I wish I had discovered this place sooner. I've been looking everywhere for patterns and fabric to make clothes and other sewing projects that I love. I truly hope they stay in business for a very long time because so many fabric stores have closed, including Joann's. It's becoming harder and harder to find sewing supplies, especially patterns. Many patterns have to be ordered online, and that can take a while to arrive. Sometimes you want to start a project right away, so waiting for a pattern can be a real bummer. Having a store like this is such a blessing, and I hope it will be around for many years to come. read more

Price point is a A+++++ Lots of cute fabric patterns to choose from. They even have a basket of free fabric scraps outside by the entrance. First off I walked in there feeling inspired already because of all the different materials to choose from. They got beading, fabric, cute paper for scrapbooking, wood work and etc. They got refurbished sewing machines for sale as well. Also, if you have any questions the ladies are pretty helpful. read more

See all

Small but packed with fabric, sewing supplies and other crafts. The staff are friendly and helpful. Wish it were bigger.

This thrift store is more like a boutique. The prices reflect the boutique style, too. It's well organized, friendly staff, and a decent selection. This thrift store isn't for your hard core thrifter! The staff prices all items to where one doesn't get a great deal. I like a thrift store that's organized, however, part of thrifting is finding treasures at a decent price! This store isn't it, nevertheless its a fun, bright, and clean store. read more

I absolutely love this place, I will definitely be back. They have an amazing selection of everything you could possibly think of or need. They're my favorite craft store, not only to shop at, but to donate too. Everyone who works there is very kind and helpful, and their prices can't be beat. Every crafter should shop here, they definitely deserve more customers. read more

I was referred by a friend to Creative Upcycle just to grab one craft item and I bought several items and a sewing machine! I fell in love when I walked in. It's a second-hand craft/thrift store with a mission: a nonprofit that funnels proceeds back into the local community. Love that! Prices are fair, the vibe is welcoming, and the selection is wonderfully eclectic. They refurbish sewing machines and, on my visit, had about eight on the floor. I found a well-priced, mid-range model that was serviced and ready to sew and I couldn't resist. The inventory is a crafter's dream: fabric, yarn, notions, paper, tools, and supplies for all kinds of hobbies. Stock turns over quickly, so it's worth swinging by often to see what's new. Creative Upcycle is where inspiration meets value. I came in for a small item, forgot why I came, and left with exactly what I didn't know I needed. I started sewing again after 20 years! If you craft, mend, quilt, knit, or just love materials with a second life, this place is a must-visit. Shout out to Marcie and Meg (the owner) read more

Great people great selection. Prices very reasonable. Selection changes often. Parking is plentiful.

I initially found Creative Upcycle with the intention of donating yarn that I've had too much of but I have to admit, I've bought more than I've donated. Since then, I've taken on the hobby of sewing and frequent the store about once a week to see what's new. Everything is reasonably priced and they carry all kinds of craft hobbies, including serviced sewing machines and a wall of buttons. I haven't had to buy brand new fabric, notions, or yarn since stumbling upon this place. I even found a set of Chiagoo interchangeable needles here for a fraction of the price! Meg, the owner, has helped me with every single crochet/knitting/sewing project I've worked on in one way or another. I believe proceeds from the store go to a different nonprofit each quarter and you're keeping craft materials out of landfills! read more

Love what they're doing read more

This place is awesome! Every town should have a store like this and we get one in Pleasant Hill. The fabric selection is on point. I went in there to get basic black cotton and then a flannel to match and found it within minutes. So well organized! Plus they have all sorts of prints, textures, materials... And if you aren't into sewing they have very other craft you might be into too. Stationary, yarn, picture frames, markers that they test before putting out on the floor - just to name a few. Everything is all sectioned out and easy. Plus, the staff are so friendly and priced fairly. Definitely worth checking out. I'll be back! Thanks so much! read more

I was there to donate fabric and purchase fabric. Upon entering the store I was not greeted and the cashier had an unfriendly demeanor. She thanked me for the donation. I purchased 50.00 worth of fabric and it was a fantastic buy!! I loved all the things they had in the store, very well organized!! My only complaint are the cashiers which are not friendly hopefully that will change. I will return to buy more fabric, lace, and thread. Its a wonderful store!!! read more
