What can I expect when I join?
Well, it is kinda like social media - but not really cause there is no advertising and no algorithm… oh, and no trolls.
There is a feed reminiscent of facebook where you can create and comment on posts, articles and polls. You can share images and videos, links to your shop drops and interesting textile upcycling related content you find in your cyberspace travels.
You can sign up for workshops, masterminds, and Thrive Squads if you want to expand past the Stitcherhood basic membership.

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

Addressing our global textile waste crisis with creative ingenuity.
