the selection is great. dropping off material and other stuff is so easy, the people there are so friendly and helpful. I drive over from Cloverdale to drop off materials because they display the items so well. You can always find things you need. read more

Wonderful little spot for a craft minded thrifter! I spent an hour searching and found several treasures. Their prices are great and huge selection of fabrics etc. can't wait to visit the area again and stop in!! read more

BEST DAY EVER! This place is so wonderful and the busy vibe is awesome. You can feel the joy and creativeness buzzing in the room. Service is warm and friendly. They were happy to receive donations too. Selection is outrageous. Prices will make you sing. I LOVE THIS PLACE. It is a thrift store for fiber artists, drawing,and painting too. You will have a fantastic time sharing with the other custo.ers there as well. I takes me back to my childhood when I would visit Mannings weaving school in Pennsylvania read more

When you need 10 more beads, a yellow zipper or something to craft on a rainy day - GO HERE! So many possibilities at great prices.

We found all sorts of sewing materials at a reasonable price. Also scrapbooking, knitting and greeting cards.

The legacy is the place to go when you're not looking for something special or when you are looking for something special, because you're bound to find special things and surprises too at prices that you cannot best. Plus, proceeds from the sake of these wonderful donated items go to a great organization , the Sebastopol senior center thank you,Legacy. read more

Oh, it's wonderful here! And, super bonus, it's all rescued (by donation) from the scrap heap! So, every time I shop there, I can feel good about it! read more

What a fun place! There are so many things that you can get for crafting. Their donations and everything is priced very reasonably. I was able to get a couple books on knitting for $.75 apiece. They also have tons of material lots of yarn, and also found the size of knitting needles I needed to make a Christmas present. They have everything that you could imagine for crafting paper, collages, buttons, ribbons and stencils. I probably missed a lot of stuff but it's a great store and I recommended highly. read more

Had a nice person on the phone checking to see if they had the supply I was looking for. All of a sudden another voice takes over the phone and tells me she doesn't know if they have the item and I have to come in the store to see for myself. I live 30 mins away and told her I wanted to check before I made the trip; asked her if they had the item. She quickly said no and I would have to come in. The second person said she was the Manager, (name starts with B). She was rude. read more

Had a horrible encounter in this store two months ago when one of the volunteers started harassing me because she said she hated "DICKERING". I felt embarrassed by her rudeness and volatility. It was borderline aggression. No thanks. Ive been to better stores with far less angry volunteers, dont waste your time. read more

The Legacy is AWESOME! When I walk in I feel a berst of joy and like I am immediately at home. There are so many things for a great price, there are things for 10c that are still in great condition! There are a variety of rainbows to choose from, it's hard to not want to buy it all! I could spend my whole day in The Legacy. It is warm, bright and fun!! The the people who work there are very nice, and heart warming people. I also feel it is not too crowded. I can always find my daughter. THE WORKERS ARE SO FRIENDLY and are not at all snarky. It is a GREAT PLACE FOR KIDS! my daughter LOVES it! read more

Great prices if you find what you need. Welcoming environment. Craft books that won't break the bank.

Wow just went in The Legacy for the first time. Scrapping stamping sewing!! So much there. I will be back!!

There is an amazing selection of fun stuff, great prices, and very friendly staff. I definitely recommend stopping here before going to standard craft stores. read more

This a great place to find vintage fabrics, craft and sewing supplies, and similar items gently used or in like new condition. The prices can't be beat. The store is over stacked and can be difficult to move around in when there are multiple shoppers or for anyone with mobility issues. I do not recommend bringing small children along with you when you shop here. I've noticed over the years the volunteers tend to be snarky, and I find it's good to take it with a grain of salt. read more

Best fabric store ever. I have made such beautiful things from my finds here. It's like haute fabric shopping at a fraction of the price. I once walked away with 4 garbage bags of the most stunning linen and silk fabrics...for a total of $200. That much would have cost like $10,000 had I been shopping at Britex. read more

Great selection of lots of unique items. Prices are terrific and profits support a great cause. Everything from fabric, yarn, buttons, art supplies, greeting cards and specialty items. read more

Small space , filled to the brim with fabric, and bins of thread, buttons etc. Staffed with very helpful and NICE people. You won't be disappointed. read more

This is a crafter/sewing Mecca. Generally very crammed with both people and with inventory.

The Legacy is even more amazing since they've grown; service is great, and I think everyone is enjoying the enlarged space! Me-I wander around, blissfully amazed at what's available...(Surprise! It's not just craft supplies).Think of having 10 or more very creative neighbors having a HUGE yard sale under one roof at amazing, end of the day prices! I live in Santa Rosa and will make the trip for a few things, and see more I can use.I'll take home 10 notions for the price of a sandwich. I love the community the Legacy serves-costume makers, established knitters, artists. It's a great place for inexpensive art supplies or if your kids are unsure they'll stick with a craft, and you want to keep investment costs down! I'm looking forward to some rainy winter days when I can really spend some time here guilt free! I'd love to tell friends how to model a store such as this in their own (primarily out of state) community. Where to begin? read more

I checked The Legacy website, Facebook page and called the phone # of record. There was no message or indication that the shop would not be open on 5-22-23. I had a number of boxes of quality fabric (wool, silk, upholstery fabric etc) as well as numerous craft supplies. I drove from Southern Marin to donate these items. When I arrived there was a sign on the door that the shop was closed for volunteers appreciation luncheon. I again checked the FB page, website and phone. No message to indicate they were not accepting donations. Again I drove up to Sebastopol from Mill Valley. A sign outside the shop read that they were not accepting donations because their storage area was full and they had no room. I was furious. I told them of my fruitless drives two consecutive days. The woman said "Well, there was a sign on the door" regarding Monday. I told her "I couldn't read a sign on the door from Mill Valley". I said they should use the website and/or Facebook to communicate important updates. She just shrugged and said "Have a nice day". Don't bother shopping there or donating, assuming they ever accept donations. I will tell all My quilting, sewing and crafting friends not to bother will this business. read more

So. Much. Yarn. It is a crocheters paradise, and a lot of the stuff is pretty old or vintage which is pretty cool. They have a drawer tower with a bunch of crochet hooks and knitting needles and looms and tapestry needles, basically everything you'd need for super cheap. I think the average price of average acrylic yarn is 1.50$. read more

They're donation times Are so strict that a working person cannot make it in around their work schedule to donate things it's really donation prohibitive, that's really sad. read more

Great prices and very knowledgeable helpful staff. I would recommend this place to any crafters

This is a great spot to browse for the sewing and crafting supplies you didn't even know you needed until you happily grabbed them up! Lots of fabric, beads, pattern books, lace, transfers.. the list goes on and on. I spotted what looked like a ceramic peacock high on a shelf and asked about it. The helpful staff lady was curious and climbed on a chair to get it down for me and we all admired it. It's now shining brightly in my sunny window where the blues and greens are gorgeous. Enthusiastic and helpful staff also =)) read more

Great idea, but I was expecting a better shopping experience....the store is extremely small, crammed with boxes of crafts, so if you're claustrophobic you're going to have problems here. Best to go when they first open or near closing. I'm a quilter and I found most of the cotton fabric unappealing. They weigh it and charge you $2 a pound. They did have a great box of postcards near the front for 10 cents each. Lots of crafting materials and books, so it's worth a look if you can stand to squeeze in. A nice lady helped me at the counter because I was behind a person making a massive purchase, so I thank them for that. read more

This is a great place to find good deals on sewing and craft items. I absolutely love places like this, with nooks and crannies and fun stuff to pick through-you never know what you'll find! Go with lots of time to look and dig in their boxes. As a first timer, the first impression I had could have been better. I'm taking one star off for the grumpy lady at the register. Smile and be friendly-if people ask questions it's because they don't know..I'll take another star off for the red ribbon I bought...it was all rolled up in a small bag and I didn't even think to open, unroll and check it but it had a 10" sharpie marker streak down the middle. Now, I would have bought it anyway because I can work around it for this project but it's the principle...and EVEN though it was cheap, whom ever rolled it up and put it in there should have either cut it out or made note of it. That's just shady! I WILL go back and I definitely recommend a trip if you've never been. I'm hoping they were just having a bad day and my next review will be a 5 star!! read more

The Legacy - Bummer...that's kind of hard to miss if you're measuring it before packaging...just sayin' - Thrift Stores Near Me - Sebastopol, California

I love this place. I knew from reading the description that I would get lost in this crafters mecca, so I made sure to visit 45 minutes before they were closing. I needed fabric to make curtains for my new apartment and was hopeful that I might find something. I found two actual curtains (time savings!), a piece of lace fabric for another project, took stock of all the wonderful supplies they have there, and I even made a few friends! There are supplies for sewing, embroidery, cross stitch, scrap booking, knitting/crocheting, weaving, and so much more. I love that they are an all donations locations and their proceeds go to the Sebastopol Senior Center. How fitting! Everyone that works there is incredibly nice and helpful. I will definitely be back. They have half price days on the 2nd and 4th Fridays but their prices are so low, that everyday is a sale, really. read more

Best store EVER!! If is a crafters paradise. I spend hours in here all the time. There is so much yarn and lace and anything you ever might need. Everything is extremely affordable and it is such a loving environment. read more

First time as a shopper, all other visits have been as donating. Lots of stuff, as organized as possible considering all the 'stuff' in there. I easily found the yarn I needed (organized well by color), found trim very neatly wrapped on cardboard & I needed bells and had to ask for help. The nice lady working took me straight to a drawer labeled bells...perfect. The inventory is going to vary and you may or may not find what you need...but you will probably find something else :) I loved seeing teenagers in there buying art supplies and fabric. Also I liked at the register they have a sign inviting young people to ask for a free sewing kit. I have heard and read people complain about the staff/volunteers here but I have only had pleasant experiences with the people behind the counter & the people receiving donations. read more

Prices are great, variety of craft items is great and supporting cause is also great. Can't give them 5 stars, employees and volunteers could be nicer. I love the store but I've had and heard some rude encounters. read more

Prices are amazing, staff is friendly, seems a little disorganized at first glance but I found what I needed easily!

Hidden gem. My wife spent almost an hour here looking for antique lace, thread, bobbins, etc. and brought home a fantastic haul. Look deep into every drawer and box to find the goodies! read more

The Legacy - Thrift Stores Near Me - Sebastopol, California

Mixed feelings about this store that I have been shopping at for many years now. When they relocated and raised their prices, shopping there has been kind of a drag. The whole joy was that the craft and sewing items that you needed were affordable, so you could buy a lot. NOW I buy about 1/3 of what I used to and seem to find what I need at Joann's instead. Especially since they started putting ribbon into bags (so you can't see how many feet/yards are in the bag) or making it for sale by the wound display spools. What a drag! How about if you put the ribbon for sale in the way that it is donated to the store??? I never, ever buy ribbon in the store any more and I used to buy several dozen yards every month. The fabric is scrunch-stacked in a way that makes it very difficult to see without taking everything off the shelves which is exhausting and messy. You can do better! Some of the volunteers/employees at the register don't seem to know what they are doing, make mistakes, and can be arrogant=also a drag. read more

When my wife died unexpectantly recently, I was unsure of what to do with her vast collection of fabric and sewing notions, sewing machine and Serger and other sewing items. I was referred to the store by my wife's sewing machine dealer and everybody at the store were wonderful to deal with. Over the period of three months I brought 9 SUV loads of material, fabrics, sewing notions, batting and other supplies to the store once a week plus the sewing machine and Serger. Since I had so much to donate, I called ahead and made sure they could take the loads I brought up each time. I particularly loved the fact that the store proceeds go towards the Sebastopol Senior Center. Only downside was my wife never got to browse the store, but if she had I would have had more than 9 SUV loads to donate read more

My review is based on my experience DONATING not shopping. I called the store twice before loading my car full of fabric and sewing/crafting supplies. I was told "yes, we take this, and yes, we take that" to every question I asked so I scheduled an appointment for my donation. Never once was I told "We don't take scraps" because my question would have been "What constitutes scraps for your purposes?". Unfortunately my donation time was during a very hot part of the day but I was unprepared for the crankiness i encountered upon arrival. Two people came out to my car and seemed very u pleased about the amount of bags (even though I forewarned them when I made the appointment). Unfortunately I pulled a muscle in my right arm and was unable to left anything requiring both hands. When I apologized for my injury the man looked at me and said "Aaaaauuuuf course" because I needed help. I apologizes but did as much caring as I could physically manage. They eagerly took the 2 boxes of quilting pattern and sewing books. They eagerly took the large quilting hoops and directed one of the staff to "put a $20 sticker on These!" Then they started picking apart the bags of fabric and they only took a few select pieces. They said over and over "We don't take scraps". Now to be fair, they do have limited space, but to be fair to me they rejected anything that had a piece cut out of it, some small (ok I get that) but also some half yards or MORE. I was left with 6 yards of linen, single yards of other various garment fabric (clean, current, quality), and lots of home dec. In the end they took 6 of the 13 bags I brought. He then looked at me and said "Sorry, I don't want this and Goodwill won't take it, but feel free to use the dumpster at the end of the lot. If anybody gives you a bad time just tell them John from Legacy said it was ok". Not even a thank you! I left there feeling sorry for burdening them with my donations! I drove down to the dumpster and threw in 2 bags of stabilizer scraps - usable for embroidery hoops, I just have too much. Then a lady stuck her head out of the McDonalds drive threw window and screamed her head off at me for using their dumpster. I tried to explain what John had said and it just made her yell louder so I left. I drove I to the Goodwill donation center and asked if they took fabric. They said SURE and offered to unload the remaining bags. The only reason I offer Legacy 1star is because I support what they are doing for the community. I won't go back nor will I subject any of my friends to the rudeness I encountered so I will recommend my friends donate elsewhere. Maybe it was the heat....but.... read more

Previously owned, gently used and new craft supplies, specializing in needle craft (sewing, knitting, rug hooking, embroidery, bolts of fabric, buttons, etc.). It's a bit of a jumble at first glance, but everything actually is very well organized and the staff can help you find anything. Prices are great, for example, knitting needles for a dollar. They are entirely supplied by donations so the selection changes all the time. If you need something very specific to complete a project, this isn't the place. But to build up your stash, find a selection of fabrics for your next quilt, and so on, this is a great source. My mother-in-law donates her unused craft supplies here--roving, yarn, patterns, crochet hooks, lace, etc.. I think many ladies in our town do the same when they clean out their sewing rooms, yarn stashes and sew on (couldn't resist that one). I love that this keeps things from being thrown out, and wish this type of store existed in every community. It's a great place! read more

This place is AWESOME! Every kind of fabric you can think of for $1/lb!? Yes! Tons of yarn in every shade of every color and for every type of needlework? Yes! Crafting supplies up the wazoo? Yes! Other fabulous things and discoveries? YES! And all the proceeds go to benefit the Sebastopol Senior Center. Don't get me started on their annual Holiday Store...I spent $135 over the course of their last week with everything 50% off and got a fully decorated, fiber optic Christmas tree and cleaned them out of their linens (huge damask tablecloth with four matching napkins for $15!). GO HERE!!! You will NOT be sorry. read more

I will start by saying I volunteer here. This is a very unique store ! It is a thrift store without furniture, clothing, kitchen ware, etc. We just carry yarns, fabric, some art and craft materials, patterns and books. We also have vintage lace and handwork. Our profits benefit the Sebastopol Senior Center. One of our goals is to keep the store well organized and to present the merchandise in the nicest way we can. You will find spinning wheels, raw wool, quilting fabrics and tools, sewing equipment and lots of books! People from all over the Bay Area come here to seek treasures! We have many estate contributions and give receipts for tax purposes if requested. We have an amazing supply of buttons, threads, laces, ribbons and even a " free" bin! read more
