Revamp, Repair, Repurpose…
Textile and clothing waste is a huge problem for the health and wellbeing of the whole planet
We are an inclusive network of people and enterprises based in and around Frome in Somerset whose focus and priority is about addressing clothing and textile reuse (rescue) and sustainability (repurposing, recycling).
We are a group of makers and researchers.
We make, stitch, knit, weave, repair, re-purpose and remake.
We research local and global textile sustainability issues.

Come along and connect with others to share ideas, get involved in network projects and find out what others are doing to promote clothing and textile sustainability.

How To Mend Your Clothes sessions
We run frequent free guidance sessions in small hand sewn clothing repairs for adults with little or no sewing experience or confidence.
Quilt Club

An inclusive, free, welcoming environment where we come together to make and create. Using up textile scraps we will sew and learn the art of quilting together, making for the local community.
