1. Creativity is a Survival Skill

We teach people how to make, mend, and express themselves. In a world that wants us to consume, we teach people to create—and that’s radical.

2. We’re Fighting Fast Fashion

By teaching upcycling and reuse, we divert thousands of pounds of textiles from landfills each year—and turn them into wearable art and functional style.

3. We Make Space for the Misfits

Rebel Threads isn’t just a sewing studio. It’s a haven for people who never felt like they belonged—queer folks, neurodivergent creatives, perfectionists in recovery, and first-time makers.

4. Our Archive Tells Stories

Our 5,000+ piece costume collection dresses stages, drag shows, dance pieces, and DIY dreams—preserving history and fueling imagination.

5. Your Gift Buys Tools, Threads, and Time

Every donation helps us stock the shop, run classes, and open the doors to people who need creativity more than they need perfection.

6. We’re Not Waiting for Permission

Rebel Threads is happening—with or without polished funding decks. Your support helps us keep it scrappy, soulful, and radically community-centered.
