An Evening at the Drapers Conscious Fashion Awards Last night we had the privilege of attending the Drapers Conscious Fashion Awards, where Remnant Revolution was nominated for Best Community Initiative, Women’s Empowerment, and Textile Innovation . While we didn't win our catogories, being recognised at such an early stage of our journey felt incredibly meaningful. Simply being included among so many organisations and brands working hard to reshape the future of textiles was

Deadstock fabric is more than leftover material — it’s a catalyst for innovation. By reimagining remnant textiles through circular design, brands can create unique products, reduce waste, and demonstrate real commitment to sustainable fashion.

Surplus fabric is one of the fashion industry’s most overlooked challenges. Across the UK, unused textiles accumulate in warehouses or become waste. But these remnants represent more than a problem — they’re an opportunity to rethink how materials are used.

Today marked a real milestone for us - our very first upholstery class, led by the incredibly talented Erica Sawden of Sew and Stow - and it was everything we hoped it would be (and a little bit more). Six women arrived, each carrying a chair with its own story. Some were tired dining seats ready for a new lease of life, others were much-loved pieces that had seen years of family meals, homework sessions and conversations. What united them all was potential. Over the next thr

This week we opened the doors to our “Come Sew With Us”  pop-up at the Old Department Store in the heart of Cirencester - it certainly has been a whirlwind! In 48 hours we transformed the space into something warm, welcoming and full of colour and fabrics. We gathered donated wallpaper, bought two pots of sage green paint, sourced a few beautiful furniture pieces from The Home Remedy , filled the space with rescued fabrics and sewing machines and somehow pulled it all togethe

Last night I had the pleasure of speaking about​ Remnant Revolution's journey to the Soroptimist International HQ   in Cirencester. Soroptimist International is a global network of professional women working to improve the lives of women and girls through education, empowerment and opportunity. It was inspiring to meet such an engaged, thoughtful group and to see just how closely our values and ethos align. Women-led organisations play a vital role in supporting women and gir

Recently, we ran a series of relaxed machine tests to meet local women with professional sewing skills. These sessions weren’t about pressure or perfection, they were simply a way for us to understand how each woman sews, the techniques she uses, and the beautifully neat finishes she creates. More importantly, they gave us the chance to meet talented makers who can help us bring remnant fabrics back to life and give them a second chance. We were genuinely overwhelmed by the s
