We are now able to accept personal scrap donations again (thank you!). 

We are currently looking for:

Fabric - on a roll (no small pieces), leather pieces of any size, any haberdashery such as buttons, 
sewing thread and dress making patterns

Craft items - Paper crafting, general stationery, knitting/sewing patterns, craft books etc

If you have anything else that you think we may be able to use please either telephone the store or send a photo to enquiries@dorsetscrapstore.org.uk

Thank you in advance for all your kind donations.
Our main criteria is that materials are clean, safe and suitable for repurposing. We have put together a guide but at the moment, space is really limited so if in doubt please contact us.
