Requirements of Sale

Merchandise for this sale must be 50% fabric, which includes: fabric yardage and remnants, notions, yarns, clothing, t-shirts, sewn items, fashion accessories, home accessories, and seconds; the remainder can be handcrafted merchandise and other craft supplies like beads, buttons, leather, or craft books. Shoppers at BOLTS come to buy fabrics, especially Asian fabrics, and notions. If your handcrafted merchandise is not fabric related, Temari’s Trash & Treasure sale in November may be a better venue for you to sell your merchandise.

Temari promotes Bolts in its newsletter and on its website, social media channels, ad campaigns, and electronic postcards. Each year Temari provides space to several community non-profit organizations who are expected to cross-promote Bolts to their constituents and on social media.
