Sew Valley is turning four, and to celebrate we are launching an end of year campaign kicking off Giving Tuesday through December 31st, 2021!
Sew Valley has proven in four years that the need for resources supporting small apparel brands in our region is extremely high. We knew there was a need for an incubator space such as this when we started Sew Valley in 2017, but what we did not anticipate was perhaps the most important: job creation within the field.
If we have learned anything since our formation, it is that garment design and construction requires a lifetime of training and skill, and it should be treated as such. The only reason Sew Valley is where it is today is because of our extremely talented team who all give 110% every single day. They are made up of DAAP/Kent State/NKU graduates, self-taught sewists and creatives who all bring a different skillset to the table. They are pattern makers, sample makers, graders, designers, machine operators, mechanics, assemblers, tinkerers, teachers, mathematicians, and problem solvers. They make things happen in a field that has been dwindling in the U.S. for decades. We are proud to be a part of a team who proves every day that apparel production is not for the faint of heart, and it can be done right here in your backyard.
We would be honored if you would consider donating to Sew Valley's end of year campaign! A gift of any size will greatly help catapult us into the next phase of our operation, and continue to provide resources and jobs within the local sewn trades. We have come so far in the past four years, think of what the next four years will bring!
Want to contribute in other ways or in person? You're invited to our first ever Factory Sale this Saturday, December 4th from 12-4pm! We'll be selling fabric, samples, locally made products by our members and staff, machines, fixtures and more! We'll also have refreshments and will be offering $10 pant hems while you wait! Come have some fun, check out what we've been up to, and support our mission in person!
Thank you!
