The Sewist Society

sustainable home and personal accessories

Our mission

At The Sewist Society,

we aim to find solutions to the systemic problem of

textile waste and overconsumption. We honor the life cycle of the fabric, from the seed, to the thread, to the cloth, to the garment, and all the hands that made it.

We believe that through awareness and education, we can redefine our relationship to textiles and

grow a future that sustains us all.

Education and Skill share

The Sewist Society will bring awareness and spotlight sewing as a skill/trade that we need to value again. We will uplift sewing and seamstresses and bring attention to the gender and class issue that has become embedded in the current sewing factory culture, as well.

Sustainable home

When you purchase from The Sewist Society, you are supporting artists and artisans, while diverting fabric waste from our landfills.

 “I am certain that a Sewing Machine would relieve as much human suffering as a hundred Lunatic Asylums, and possibly a good deal more.”

― Margaret Atwood, Alias Grace
