Sustainability Is.....

Sustainability is really about being thoughtful and careful — meeting our own needs today, while making sure we’re not taking away the ability of future generations to meet theirs. When we keep that in mind, we’re more likely to make choices that create a healthier balance between the environment, our communities, and the economy — so everyone can enjoy a better, more livable world now and in future generations.

Sustainability encourages us to be mindful of how we use resources, cut down on waste, and make decisions that support long-term well-being — for people and the planet. It touches almost every part of our lives: from how we power our homes, grow our food, and shop for clothing, to how we craft and create.

In sewing, some actionable steps you can take might mean:

• Using upcycled leather and textiles
• Finding ways to introduce fabric scraps into your makes
• Creating beautiful, durable pieces that will last

Every time we sew with intention, we’re helping to care for the earth in our own small but meaningful way.
