Today's video is the first in a new ongoing series all about Fast Fashion, including what many garment workers face on a daily basis.

Over the course of these episodes we'll delve into topics like
•What to watch for when shopping
•Mass production vs small batch
•Slow Fashion
•Fair Trade
•Sustainability & Environmental impact
•Trendy vs. On Trend
And how all this relates to your sewing practice, and what we can do to reduce our carbon footprints in our sewing rooms.

Thank you so much for taking a few minutes to listen to this important message. It's something that has become near and dear to me over the last year. I'm making it a goal of mine to use my YouTube and Instagram platforms to raise awareness and make a difference in the world of fashion.
