Sustainable Fashion Weeks mission is to support a shift away from fast fashion; resourcing and inspiring people in different communities to join a growing movement for change and find individual ways of engaging with sustainability.
Their second annual flagship event has just taken place! After months of planning, they delivered a nationwide programme of activity, showcasing sustainable fashion in all its variety.
SFW 2022 brought together community and industry – connecting people with the different entry points to sustainability in fashion, through their four themes: Regenerate, Rewear, Repurpose & Reconnect.

| We now have more members spaces! We can now accommodate up to 14 members in the studio, offering private desk spaces, additional storage and still offering ample communal making space where members can spread out and work on projects. We also have a private meeting room and are currently working on a dedicated photography studio space that members can utilise for product and lifestyle shots and that can also be hired. We are updating our equipment and have recently added a new Jack industrial 4 thread overlocker to our list. Do get in touch if you are looking for studio space and we will be happy to show you round! |

We have been running virtual MMM sessions ever since April 2020 and we have been able to reach a community far greater than before and it has been a joy to connect. With that in mind we will continue to run Virtual Meet Make Mend sessions alongside reintroducing in person sessions at Bristol Textile Quarter. Look out for new dates!
Meet Make Mend Thursday 26th May 19.30-21.30 GMT
An informal gathering of slow stitching minds… Bring your mending or slow stitch project and allow yourself the opportunity to repair… Whether you are an experienced mender or a complete novice, you are very welcome. Pay what you can, but we thought between £5-8 would be sufficient – though any and all contributions are greatly appreciated!

| A very warm hello from BTQ! It’s been too long since we’ve shared news of studio life… but we’ve been here, waiting for the dust to settle, luckily keeping our doors open throughout the last year and now the space is busy and reenergised once more and we have much news to share… |
| New Members! The past 15 months has brought much upheaval to many and small businesses have had to re-evaluate and even relocate but this has given others opportunities to take that leap and branch out. BTQ has been able to accommodate that flux and we are very happy to be home to a new cohort of members! https://mailchi.mp/1c8d9c616b4c/bristol-textile-quarter-news-4194537?e=[UNIQID] |
