A brand new event to help sewists easily find eco sewing supplies. Along with inspiring talks and workshops.

The idea for this new sewing event came from a group of small businesses who promote sewing sustainably. The nature of making our own clothes is a protest against the fast fashion industry. Considering where we buy our fabric and sewing supplies is the next step. Buying vintage and deadstock fabric and haberdashery is a sustainable alternative to buying new fabrics as we are already using items that are already in circulation. Preventing them from reaching landfill. New fabrics and haberdashery are also on offer at the fair. These have been carefully and sustainably sourced with the end use in mind.
