Dear all,

With the UK government now turning its attention to the fashion industry and its negative impact on the environment we are keen to point out that some of us are trying to lead the way in an ethical and sustainable manner! The Fashion Enter Factory is fully compliant, transparent and proud, not forgetting to mention ‘fast’ too, this is fast fashion but not in the negative ‘sweat shop’ sense – to read all about what we do click here.

Last Call For Courses This Saturday

We have two taster courses taking place this Saturday 30th June. The highly popular and creative 3-hour TR Pattern Cutting course with TR pattern super master Claudette Joseph. Or for those wanting to upskill their basic pattern cutting knowledge; Skirt Adaptations, a full day course, will teach students how to convert a skirt block into various styles.
