Why You'll Love It: 
You will get to meet like minded innovative people and form a community.
What You'll Learn: 
Many things from team work, problem solving, creative craft to mental health and wellbeing.  Of course with a heart in sustainability then you'll love seeing how as a brand we are growing and developing and there you will be - right in the heart of the North East's new sustainable fashion industry!

Anyone who has "some sewing skills".  Anyone that may have repaired an item of clothing even by hand and is interested to learn more skills in doing this! It may be that you may one day wish to start your own brand and use this to create a self employed opportunity through the skills you have learned in sustainable fashion.  No matter what then we want to hear from you!
