Destashify - An Online Fabric Resource
Because I spend an egregious amount of time in online sewing groups, I learned about Destashify through a fabric resource discussion.
It’s an online platform that caters to sewists. (There’s a yarn section too that I dare not look at yet.)
First, this isn’t sponsored. They just started following me on my Instagram last Friday. They have no idea who I am. However, I know what their platform is all about. A place to sell and destash your fabric, yarn, patterns and more. It’s perfect for someone like me that just wants to look at sewing stuff. It has the vibe that the early days of Etsy had. Things are limited from the selling point of view. Again. think early days of Etsy. There are limited selections for descriptors and you can only upload 10 photos. So, you’re kinda hoping that your title and photos grab some attention. But as a buyer, one massive plus is $5.00 USD Flat Rate Shipping and $20 CAD/UK when you purchase from a single shop.
I decided to give it ago and in my first month of being a seller I had pretty good sales. They pay you a day or two after you ship your order. You do have to use an off site shipping service like Pirate Ship. You’ll also need your own postage scale if you’re not someone who ships orders normally. It’s super easy. The only thing you need to account for is with the flat rate shipping, you’ll want to pad the price. See Destashify’s FAQs for more information.
I am a seller that likes to ship as soon as possible personally. We unfortunately live in the time of the Amazon shipping style as our base for most things. Being a fellow fabric junkie, I know I am excited to receive my orders of fabric, so I like to provide that for those who buy from me.
Again, this isn’t sponsored at all. I’m just old fashioned and like to share good resources my fellow artists/crafters.
So if you happen to be staying home for the 4th of July and need a new place to scope out from any special sewing projects you might have, check it out.
