SUST Made

As part of the Just Sust Festival, we’re launching a countywide community project to bring together makers, menders, and sewing circles in a shared act of creative care. Our aim is to transform unwanted sleeping bags into long, sleeveless gilet coats — practical, stylish, and full of purpose.

Guided by a lead facilitator, this initiative will connect making and repair groups across the county and beyond, inviting people of all ages and abilities to take part. Each upcycled garment will have a second life:  with funds from the sales donated to those experiencing homelessness or isolation.

This is a project that upskills some, involves many, and benefits all — a true reflection of what Just Sust stands for.

💚 Want to get involved?
If you’re part of a making or repair group, or simply want to lend a hand, we’d love to hear from you. Would you like your community making group to be included in our directory of SUST Making?
