Textiles ReUse Network
Everyone Needs Pockets Textile Reuse Network
Revamp, repair, repurpose.
We are an inclusive network of people and enterprises whose focus and priority is about addressing clothing and textile reuse (rescue) and sustainability (repurposing, recycling).
We are a group of makers and researchers.
We make, stitch, knit, weave, repair, repurpose and remake.
We research local and global textile sustainability issues.
What we’re about:
-
Textile reuse and repair
-
Carbon emission reduction
-
Raising awareness of the harm of the clothing and textile industry and textile waste
-
Mental health and wellbeing by making and repurposing textiles
-
Gathering as a social and sharing network
-
Creating connections and solutions
-
Support individual and group ideas and projects
We usually meet on the second or third Friday of the month at Future Shed. Please book in so we know you’re coming!
