Inspired-Threads Inc

Our mission is to provide meaningful training and employment opportunities for women with disabilities in the eco-fashion industry. We teach practical skills such as serging sewing pressing and product construction to help our team create one-of-a-kind upcycled home goods like blankets tote bags and keepsakes using preconsumer fabric scraps that would otherwise go to landfills. In addition to production we run vocational programs for special education high school students and transition-age youth ages 1821 helping them build career-readiness skills and explore their creative potential. We also distribute unused fabric through giveaways to support other non-profits and local quilters designers and students encouraging sustainable textile reuse in our community.
