Our Impact

Of fabric saved each year

Since 2002, we have been giving a new purpose to materials that would otherwise be thrown away. We are passionate about supporting our local ciruclar economy.

Independent women

Equipping newcomer women with the skills to become a master seamstress enables them to make something unique out of unwanted fabric. It is a place for women to come together, create, and thrive.

Transforming community

We are showing the world a better way to do business, that is inclusive, equitable, and environmentally sustainble. When women thrive, communities thrive.

Our Partners and Supporters

An amazing organization doing great work in our community.

We just received the bags and we absolutely LOVE it! They totally embrace UNESCO’s ideals of social inclusion and sustainable development ….AND they look fantastic! Our delegates from across the world will surely appreciate them.

Joëlle Tremblay
UNESCO

In my country, we don’t really get to express ourselves as much. I was not used to it, but I am learning to speak up and tell my ideas and there is nothing wrong with that. This program is not just about sewing, it is about life and learning how things are done in Canada.
