Everyone Needs Pockets Textile Reuse Network

Everyone Needs Pockets is a network of 150+ people and enterprises focused on clothing and textile reuse (rescue) and sustainability (repurposing, recycling).

Everyone Needs Pockets is a group of makers and researchers. They make, stitch, knit, weave, repair, repurpose and remake, and research local and global textile sustainability issues.

Everyone Needs Pockets usually meets on the second Friday of the month at Edventure’s Hub in Frome. Check the Future Shed Eventbrite list for meetings and book in so we know you’re coming!

How to Mend Your Clothes sessions are usually held on the last Saturday of the month where volunteers support you to mend your clothes. Check the Future Shed Eventbrite list and book in.

Sewing the Seeds

Sewing the Seeds is a collaborative community project that ‘grew’ out of the Everyone Needs Pockets Network. Carolyn, Lucy, Katrina, Emily, Jade and Jan formed the core team to foster an initiative to grow metre square plots of flax in and around Frome to educate and nurture conversations around food and fibre.

The community fibre project is hosting workshops and meetings focused on processing flax and associated skills including weaving and embroidery. Find out more about Sewing the Seeds through their enewsletters.
