YOU DON’T KNOW WHO MAKES YOUR CLOTHES

That’s why we set up Making Room—a Manchester-based micro-factory and collaborative studio. This manifesto defines our core values and mission: to make sustainable, ethical, and local fashion manufacturing accessible.

LAUNCHING MID-2025

REWORK SHOP- upcycling sewing workshop! ⭐️ For our latest event we dived deep into zero waste pattern cutting, turning long sleeve work shirts into gorgeous cross body bags! 🪡 nothing was wasted- the buttons became fastenings and the sleeves turned into a knotted strap! 👔 

It was such a great evening of sewing, chatting and learning new rework techniques to transform your wardrobe! Make sure to check out the link in our bio for our next workshop on 5th August at The Yard MCR!

Here’s what went down at our most recent community sewing workshop, the Wednesday Sew-cial! 🪡 We were buzzing to welcome along a sold out studio of participants, ready to get creative on our industrial sewing machines! After a quick recap of how the industrials work, the gang had a relaxed and social evening creating bags, hemming jeans and making pouches from recycled ribbons! 

We’ve got some tickets remaining for the next Sew-cial at @theyard_mcr , 5:30pm-8:30pm on Wednesday 17th June! Check out the link in our bio to get hold of yours today! ⭐️

Recent production run for @fajn.dogwear 

It’s been a pleasure to team up with Stockport based dogwear brand, Fajn. We’ve been supporting across a number of manufacturing jobs, creating their signature sighthound collars and leads right here in our Manchester based factory. Not only are they perfectly designed, but their small batch manufacture ensures each piece receives the care and attention it deserves - all whilst supporting skilled machinists in the local area. Best in show any day of the week. 🐕

If you’re looking for no moq, reliable and local manufacturing- get in touch with as much detail as possible over on info@making-room.uk and one of the team will get back to you as soon as possible.
