What is second hand fabric though? Is it coming from businesses that don't need it anymore? Or is the shop selecting things that could be used as fabric, e.g. old curtains or so?

Not sure about all of these, but Upcycle Creative Reuse in Washington, DC takes donations. I've gotten some good deals there. A lot of the fabric and notions are unused from personal stashes or business overstock. They also have a ton of general crafting supplies.
