If you’ve been around Makeropolis for a while, you’ve probably heard us talk about our Friday Drops—but what exactly does that mean? Think of it like opening a treasure chest once a week, filled with fabrics, trims, yarns, books, ephemera, and crafty oddities that you won’t find anywhere else. Every Friday, we release a fresh batch of secondhand goodies that were saved from the landfill and given a second chance to shine.
What Makes Friday Drops Special?
Our drops are curated in small batches—that means no two weeks (and no two items) are ever the same. One week you might find stacks of vintage sewing patterns, the next it could be quirky buttons, a bundle of fabric, or even a trunk packed with broadcloth. Because everything is rescued and re-homed, once it’s gone, it’s gone. That thrill of the hunt? That’s part of the fun!
Why Items Sell Fast
Many of our customers treat Friday Drops like a weekly ritual—coffee in hand, cart at the ready. Since these finds are one-of-a-kind, they tend to disappear quickly. Some shoppers set alarms to make sure they don’t miss out. If you see something that sparks your creativity, don’t hesitate—because someone else may have their eye on it too.

Behind the Scenes at Makeropolis
Every drop starts with donations that come through our shop. We spend hours sorting, measuring, photographing, and organizing everything so it’s ready for you. Each Friday feels like a celebration—the moment we get to share these rescued materials and imagine all the creative lives they’ll live next.
Join the Fun
Friday Drops aren’t just about shopping—they’re about community. Every piece you pick up is part of a bigger story: it was saved, re-imagined, and passed on to you for its next chapter.
