Colorado Sewing Rebellion

Participants in the Colorado Sewing Rebellion are invited to emancipate themselves from the global garment industry by learning how to alter, mend and make their own garments and accessories! Sewing Rebellion was founded by Frau Fiber (Carole Francis Lung) in 2006 and launched in Colorado in April 2016 by Faux Frau, Steven Frost. The Colorado Sewing Rebellion distributes knowledge of the garment industry, pattern making, and sewing, encouraging the reuse, renovation, and recycling of existing garments and textiles in the creation of unique items tailored to individual tastes and body shapes.
