Hi DIY Divas
Today's sewing tutorial is inspired by Haiti. The fabric I used used to be trash on the streets of Haiti and is now high quality fabric that creates thousands of jobs for the locals. 'Sew' good and it feels good too!
Sewing is my happy therapy and this week it got an upgrade because I know that my happiness is also allowing others to earn a living a get a good job. And I get to share this with all of you!

The clothing industry is the second most polluting industry on the planet and many fast fashion stores use child and slave labor to create their clothes and keep the prices super low.I love a bargain just like anyone else but not if it's at the cost someone's dignity or a mum's ability to spend quality time with her baby. If you want to learn more about that watch the documentary 'The True Cost'
That's why I'm 'sew' excited to share the Thread fabric because their mission is 'sew' good and I'm sure you'll be happy to support and spread their messageEnjoy this DIY Tutorial & Thanks for watching!
