The Sewist Society

sustainable home and personal accessories

Our mission

It is the mission, duty and purpose of The Sewist Society to uplift sewing as skilled labor and bring awareness to how our clothes are made, who makes them, and why sewing is a valuable and necessary skill. We recycyle fiber and fabric to reduce waste in our local landfills, as well as, provide income opportunities and further education for home sewers

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
