GARMENT WORKERS SOLIDARITY QUILT RAFFLE! (Scroll down for entry details)

All funds generated through the raffle will be donated towards ‘No Sweat’s' Garment Workers Solidarity Fund, supporting striking garment worker union campaigns in the Global South.

We are raffling this beautiful quilt made in our recent quilting workshops at ReMode! We wanted to contribute to radical quilting traditions by creating something that could be used to generate material support for those at the sharp end of the globalised fast fashion industry.

This quilt was made over 8 weeks by a group of 8 sewers. The fabrics are predominantly vintage scraps donated to ReMode in years past, and have been naturally dyed using varying mixes of madder, logwood, pomegranate rind and coffee. Bamboo wadding was used to give the quilt its warmth.

You can read more about the making of this quilt and more in our upcoming zine CLOUT #8 - Quilted. You may also read more about No Sweat's Garment worker Solidarity Fund here - https://nosweat.org.uk/garment-workers-solidarity-fund/

TO ENTER - Please make a donation (minimum £5) through the ReMode PayPal link in our Instagram bio with the reference 'NO SWEAT QUILT'. Please support generously where you can! Each person may only have their name in the raffle once regardless of of donation amount. At the deadline we will randomly select a winner who will be sent the quilt (we will contact you through your email used for PayPal). The total amount fundraised will then be sent straight onto No Sweat!

DEADLINE - Sunday 5th November.

Last week we took a trip with some ReMode voluntee

Last week we took a trip with some ReMode volunteers to look at some local quilts and banners archived at the Glasgow Women's Library!

We loved finding out about each quilts' story - as objects created out of community solidarity, resilience, or for protest. On top of that it was amazing to be able to handle the textile artistry up close.

Many thanks to Jenny @womenslibrary for showing us the archive!

Join us and designer/maker Niki Taylor @thetopproj

Join us and designer/maker Niki Taylor @thetopproject for a weekend of creativity; creating custom clothing, from vintage clothes and fabrics. Taking place on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th October, this is an opportunity to slow down and get creative.⁠ 🧵⁠
⁠
If you would like to learn some new skills in sewing, customisation and up cycling, we will cover a range of techniques over the weekend for you to create some new and unique pieces for your wardrobe. Express your individuality and redesign your wardrobe without the need to buy. ✂️⁠
⁠
Why not join us in making your very own sustainable Halloween costume? Handmade, one of a kind and even better, not full of plastic! 👻⁠
⁠
Bring along some old clothes for swapping, repairing and repurposing. We will deconstruct, sew, patchwork, mend, appliqué and print. ♻️⁠
⁠
Every year hundreds of thousands of clothes go to waste in the UK alone, and we want to empower a more creative solution and perspective. ✊⁠
⁠
No sewing experience is required; the weekend is open to beginners and all curious to learn more. This workshop is open to all those aged 13-25.⁠
⁠
Choose to sign up to the full weekend or either the Saturday or Sunday. Attending for the full weekend will allow you more opportunity to explore a wider range of techniques. ⁠

Come and join us for a weekend of experimental hat

Come and join us for a weekend of experimental hat making, using upcycled and unusual materials facilitated by milliner and art activist Keng Keng, on Saturday 30th September and Sunday 1st October. ⁠
⁠
Let’s reimagine what hats can be – instead of hats being the preserve of the upper classes, together we will explore the role of headwear as a tool for protest, as a form of protection from the (Scottish) weather, and a medium for self-expression. ✊🌦️⁠
⁠
Over the weekend we will have fun and learn some basic millinery skills by using a range of upcycled and discarded conventional and unconventional millinery materials such as wool, felt, straw, sinamay, buckram, cotton, linen, silk, feathers, ribbons, beads, sequins and millinery wire.⁠
⁠
You will learn a mix of traditional millinery techniques and more experimental hat making methods as well as some experimental textile printing and mending techniques to add statements to your hat! ✂️⁠
⁠
Finally, we will waterproof the hats by using natural waxing methods. You will have a finished hat or headpiece ready to wear to school or to work, on the street or in the wild! 🧢⁠
⁠
No sewing or hat making experience needed and all beginners and those curious to learn more are welcome. This workshop is open to all ages.⁠
⁠
Bring old hats if you would like to experiment with deconstruction or restyling. A range of materials and equipment will be provided.⁠
⁠
Choose to sign up to the full weekend or either the Saturday or Sunday. Attending for the full weekend will allow you more opportunity to explore different techniques. ⁠
