Bring your mom or bring a friend, and don’t forget to bring your scissors!

At the Common Threads Thrift & Gift Store, we sell second-hand sewing supplies and hand-made products.
The Thrift: our goal is to make sewing affordable and accessible for everyone. By keeping materials out of landfills and giving stitchers in southern Maine the option to buy second-hand, we are also helping the environment.
The Gift: we uplift and support local makers by representing them and their creations in our store and online.
