Everyone Needs Pockets

Everyone Needs Pockets is a local clothing and textile network which aims to support Frome in becoming a sustainable textile town through informing, skills sharing and raising awareness of ethical clothing and textile use.

They are a group of makers and researchers who make, stitch, knit, weave, repair, repurpose and remake and research local and global textile sustainability issues.

What they’re about:

• Textile reuse and repair 
• Carbon emission reduction
• Raising awareness of the harm of the clothing and textile industry and textile waste
• Mental health and wellbeing by making and repurposing textiles
• Gathering as a social and sharing network
• Creating connections and solutions
• Support individual and group ideas and projects

They usually meet on the second or third Friday of the month at Future Shed. Please book in so they know you’re coming!
