Hi Crew,

You’ve probably heard the term deadstock fabric tossed around in sewing circles.
Maybe you’ve even sewn with it without realizing.

But tonight, I want to tell you why this fabric category is the sewist’s secret goldmine—and where to find the good stuff before it’s gone for good.

🧠 What is Deadstock Fabric?

Deadstock is what’s left over after major fashion brands finish a production run.
It’s often high-end fabric—designer-grade—that was never released to the public… until now.

💎 No reruns.
♻️ Often sustainable.
🎨 Always limited.

When it’s gone, it’s gone.

🛍️ Where to Find the Good Stuff

Here are four trusted stores that regularly carry authentic designer deadstock:

• Mood Fabrics (NYC & LA fashion house leftovers)

• Stonemountain & Daughter (natural-fiber runs + bolts from small labels)

• Blackbird Fabrics (curated small-batch deadstock for apparel)

• Core Fabrics (sustainable, upcycled, and high-quality basics)

But for today, we’re focusing on a stunner from Mood.
