." I used to sew because it was cheaper.
Now I sew because it allows me a little creative indulgence
& it is ethically, & morally,more sustainable."
Janine Pomeroy (The Sewing Revival).
Watching this video has changed my perspective on buying cheap clothes. Forever.
We wonder if people would continue to buy cheap if they pondered the conditions those clothes were made in.
Sewing your own celebrates your individuality, allows you to indulge your creative, and I think more importantly, if it stops you buying cheap clothes, enables you to support a more ethical fashion industry.
The Sewing Revival aims to ignite a passion for sewing by introducing the young, inspiring the not-so-young and re-inspiring the experienced.

CREATIVITY
Take our patterns and make them your own.
“Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun" - Mary Lou Cook
INDIVIDUALITY
Celebrate who you are. Love that you are different from anyone else on the planet. Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.
“Individuality will always be one of the conditions of real elegance” – Christian Dior
SOCIAL & ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
We ponder how many people would continue to buy cheap clothes if they inquired as to the conditions they were made in.
