One Year One Garment Project
The One Year, One Garment Project promotes locally sourced materials handmade into garments of all kinds. Anyone can participate at any skill level. Each participant should decide on a garment or accessory they would like to make from natural fibers. Materials for the project should come from local producers, businesses and even your own closets. Garments can be knit, crocheted, woven, felted, sewn or otherwise handcrafted and do not need to be from new materials. Participants can also source old wool garments from local thrift stores or storage and upcycle them into new and fun items for wear.
The only thing needed to participate is an interest in making your own garment from locally sourced natural fibers. At the end of our fiber year, participants are encouraged to show off their garments at the 2020 Farm to Fiber Festival Fashion Show in October where admission is free.
Possibilities for garments include, but are not limited to, scarves, hats, mittens, purses, sweaters, shawls, blankets or other wearable accessories from locally sourced natural fibers.
