MEET YOUR MENTOR
Hi, I'm Crispina ffrench. I'm in the business of helping textile upcyclers become successful entrepreneurs.
I'm a recycled textile activist, industry professional, and entrepreneur who has dedicated my life to using sustainable materials and recycling textiles. I've been doing this work for more than 35 years...long before anyone even uttered the words, "up-cycling" or "zero-waste."
My ultimate goal hosting Stitcherhood is to create a supportive community of textile upcycling entrepreneurs dedicated to reducing global textile waste and teaching by example. I've worked with some of the biggest names in textiles: Patagonia, Eileen Fisher, and Timberland, and share everything I know with recycled textile artists so they can become successful entrepreneurs. And save the world at the same time.
AS A MEMBER OF STITCHERHOOD, YOU'LL BE:
- Surrounded by creative textile upcycling entrepreneurs from across the world with individual skill sets, experience and expertise
- An integral part of a global shift toward careful consumption
- Immersed in creative empowerment building momentum in consumption awareness
- A celebrated part of our environmental solution

Addressing our global textile waste crisis with creative ingenuity.

























Stitcherhood is good for you

- Scientists have proven that tapping into creativity builds confidence and self-esteem while reducing stress and anxiety.
- Textile Upcycling is accessible and does not require up front investment
- Human connection and having fun are intrinsic to mental well-being.
- Building and growing a truly sustainable textile upcycling business teaches by example that we are able to make global impact with our careful choices.

Textile upcyclers disrupt the textile-to-landfill flow by harvesting value from the thrift stream, creating new product using manufacturers’ waste, sewing small batches using deadstock and/or honoring the exquisite handwork of vintage textiles.
