Mission

Our mission is to provide meaningful training and employment opportunities for women with disabilities in the eco-fashion industry. We teach practical skills such as serging sewing pressing and product construction to help our team create one-of-a-kind upcycled home goods like blankets tote bags and keepsakes using preconsumer fabric scraps that would otherwise go to landfills. In addition to production we run vocational programs for special education high school students and transition-age youth ages 1821 helping them build career-readiness skills and explore their creative potential. We also distribute unused fabric through giveaways to support other non-profits and local quilters designers and students encouraging sustainable textile reuse in our community.

During this time our designers created 231 unique pieces for sale resulting in 543 pounds of fabric diverted from landfills. This program was supported by 6 volunteers who contributed a combined 358 hours of assistance throughout the year. Expenses for this employment program reflect only the direct time spent in the sewing studio.

We delivered 456 hours of vocational training and mentorship which included 268 hours of direct mentorship provided by our employment program participants. To further support the students 6 volunteers per session contributed to the programs success offering a combined total of 158 volunteer hours. This cross-program collaboration enhances both the employment programs goal of professional development and the vocational programs focus on job readiness for students.
