Sewing classes are offered on a sliding-scale donation basis, helping remove financial barriers that can prevent people from learning a new skill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhether cost is prohibitive or you don\u2019t want to take out a loan to try out a new hobby, we just want to get people around each other sewing,\u201d says Chambliss.<\/p>\n<p>That emphasis on community participation has led to some of the store\u2019s most meaningful successes. One volunteer, Courtney, approached the owners with the idea of teaching a hand-quilting class every Thursday. More than a year later, the class is still running.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have things we want to see happen at Remnants, but we love that it can be a place for other people\u2019s ideas and projects,\u201d says Hannemann.<\/p>\n<p>The store also promotes repairing and reusing clothing rather than discarding it. A feature called \u201cThe Repairable Rack\u201d offers free garments that may need minor repairs such as replacing a button or mending a small hole.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an expression of resourcefulness, creativity and respect for your belongings and the resources that it took to create them,\u201d says Chambliss. \u201cIt\u2019s always fun seeing how people choose to repair or mend an item.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The business model has also proven sustainable. Revenue from the thrift store helps support the educational side of the operation, allowing Remnants to offer programming without relying on grants or fundraising.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_94192\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-94192\" class=\"wp-image-94192\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Spotlight-On-Remnants-ThriftSewphotobyMarcyanne3-copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Spotlight-On-Remnants-ThriftSewphotobyMarcyanne3-copy-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Spotlight-On-Remnants-ThriftSewphotobyMarcyanne3-copy-2-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Spotlight-On-Remnants-ThriftSewphotobyMarcyanne3-copy-2-1024x855.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Spotlight-On-Remnants-ThriftSewphotobyMarcyanne3-copy-2-768x641.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Spotlight-On-Remnants-ThriftSewphotobyMarcyanne3-copy-2-810x676.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Spotlight-On-Remnants-ThriftSewphotobyMarcyanne3-copy-2-1140x952.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-94192\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Group showing off quilt squares after a hand quilting class<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cSome people come in to shop for clothes and learn about the sewing space and some people come in for classes and find some things they need in the store,\u201d says Chambliss.<\/p>\n<p>Operating the business has revealed a thriving community of makers throughout Madison County and the surrounding region.
