Join us in 2020 where you can combine your resolutions to start sewing or crocheting with your zero waste goals to help save our planet!

SEWING FOR OUR PLANET

If you make only one resolution in 2020, it should be to start some zero-waste projects! Thanks to our zero waste kitchen and bathroom sewing patterns, you can make your home a more sustainable one.

OUR SUSTAINABLE SEWING COURSES

Fixing your own clothes is also a great way to save our planet. Instead of buying new clothes, commit to making them or fixing clothes you already have. You'll find sewing techniques to help you along the way in these sustainable sewing courses.

CROCHET IS KEY

Crochet is another good way to be more sustainable. We have patterns for make-up pads, dishcloths, scrubbers and more. And you can even re-use the fabric and wool from other projects to make these new zero-waste patterns!
