The original Josephine’s Dry Goods was established in 1976 quickly became a fabric odyssey. Josephine’s has always specialized in the finest apparel textiles, providing the Northwest’s sewing community with a plethora of fabric options. In September of 2013, Judith Head (one of the originating founders) closed the doors to Josephine’s downtown Portland location, to spend time with her three grandchildren.
Shortly thereafter, Bini Leach and Dana Leach (sisters by marriage and previous patrons) decided to revive Josephine’s. Judith Head graciously provided her blessing, expertise, guidance and assistance throughout the process, helping Josephine’s Dry Goods re-open in the Summer of 2014. Now located at the corner of 26th& Clinton in SE Portland, Josephine’s Dry Goods continues its commitment to providing the finest textiles the world offers.
While under new ownership, Josephine’s continues to carry the highest quality apparel textiles, providing a plethora of fabric options — including, but not limited to, Liberty of London (cotton lawns & poplins, silks, jerseys, wools & twills), Italian wools, French laces, Japanese denim, the worlds finest linens, sublime silks, cozy knits and an amazing selection of fresh fabric blends. We also continue to specialize in unique buttons, ribbons and trim. Recently, we’ve begun offering classes and event opportunities at the shop as well.

Note from Portland Frocktails: Josephine’s was the first to jump on board and be a HUGE part of this event. Bini believed in us first, and we owe her much gratitude! Please visit and thank our sponsors.
