Eco-Stitch Society
Welcome to the Eco-Stitch Society, where creativity meets sustainability in every stitch! Do you want the community and support of a guild, but you aren't a quilter? Though quilters are also welcome!
Our club is building a community of makers passionate about upcycling and sustainable sewing practices. Whether you're a seasoned seamstress or just starting out, Eco-Stitch Society offers a supportive space to share ideas, techniques, and inspiration. From transforming thrifted garments into stylish new pieces to repurposing fabric scraps into beautiful quilts and accessories, to zero-waste patterns and more, our meetings are filled with innovative projects and eco-conscious crafting tips.
Join us as we stitch together a greener, more sustainable future, one repurposed thread at a time!
