In this episode, we are thrilled to have Our Social Fabric as our special guest. Our Social Fabric is a remarkable non-profit fabric recycling initiative dedicated to creating a future where no usable fabric ends up in Canadian landfills. Their mission is truly inspiring!

As a fabric recycling initiative, Our Social Fabric collects donated fabric and sewing-related materials from a variety of sources, including film and theatre productions, wholesalers, manufacturers, and individuals. By rescuing these materials, they prevent them from ending up in landfills and contribute to a more sustainable future.

In 2022 alone, Our Social Fabric kept over 34,000 lbs of materials out of landfill, which is an incredible achievement. But their impact doesn't stop there! They make these materials available for sale to the general public both online and in person, offering them at up to 75% less than regular retail prices. This not only makes sewing more accessible but also promotes affordability and reduces waste in the textile industry.

You can visit their brick-and-mortar store in Vancouver for their weekly in-person sales, or conveniently shop online 24 hours a day on their website. With shipping services across Canada, they make it easy for everyone to support their mission and contribute to a more sustainable and affordable sewing community.

Join us as we dive deep into the work and vision of Our Social Fabric. Discover how they are revolutionizing the fabric industry, promoting sustainability, and making a difference in the lives of countless sewists and craft enthusiasts.
