About
The Sewing Rebellion – provides education and outreach in support of the campaigns of the Institute 4 Labor Generosity Workers and Uniforms.
The Sewing Rebellion is an economic tactic for change in the apparel industry.
The Sewing Rebellion is a free workshop, which began @ Mess Hall, in Chicago Fall of 2006. It was hosted at Mess Hall for one year, before becoming itinerant in May 2007. Hosted by Frau Fiber and her army of Faux Frau’s the Sewing Rebellion hosts monthly workshops at the ILGWU, Long Beach Main Library, Boulder Public Library, and pop up actions take place around the country as requested.
Participants of the Sewing Rebellion are invited to emancipate themselves from the global garment industry by learning how to alter, mend and make their own garments and accessories! The Sewing Rebellion distributes knowledge of the garment industry, pattern making and sewing, encouraging the reuse, renovation and recycling of existing garments and textiles in the creation of unique items tailored to individual tastes and body shapes.

A group at Western Washington University would like to host a sewing rebellion training event, and start an ongoing clothing consciousness project. Would Frau fiber/Carole Lung be available to come to Bellingham, WA in 2016 – 2017?

Hello Mary, there are several people interested in creating one, but it hasn’t happened yet. This exhibition opens tonight in Oakland, http://www.chandracerritocontemporary.com/current-exhibition#/peripheral-visions-exhibition-by-curators-in-residence-the-mending-collective/
The mending collective who are the curators are starting mending workshops as well, so it might be a community to connect with. Can I add you to the email list, and then you will get updates, or you can subscribe to the blog for updates.
