‘Sew Good’ received its first donation of fabric swatches and wallpaper samples from ‘Touch of Style’ in mid-June 2019. https://www.facebook.com/touchofstyleinteriordecor/

Many thanks indeed to Annette, Nicky and the team.

‘Sew Good’ is a Windhoek-based pilot enterprise that will be soft launched this weekend (22/23 June 2019). Using fabric and wallpaper donations from interior design shops in the Namibian capital, three women will be able to start supplementing their household incomes by making up shopping bags, patchwork tote bags, fabric containers for a range of gifts, and Bible covers – all reusable and made from discontinued shop stock that would otherwise go to waste. Thanks go to Merryl Butcher who first suggested this idea many months ago.

‘Sew Good’ artisans are also able to make other fabric items to order and are developing product lines to utilise the waste wallpaper samples in their stock. To find out more about ‘Sew Good’ and request a quotation, please contact Julia Gomachas on: 081 2073156 or SewGoodNamibia@gmail.com
