We’re keeping textiles out of the landfill – and we’re doing it with style!
On Friday, September 11th, join us at Transcend in Pacific Place to find out how local designers are transforming textile waste in the Shoddy not Shoddy Design Challenge!
Our participating designers have created proof-of-concept works that transforms shoddy (shredded fabric) into not-so-shoddy original designs that blend utility, craftsmanship, and circularity.
Attendees will get to cast their vote for audience favorite, shop upcycled bespoke pieces from Transcend, and celebrate the hard work of Seattle’s most innovative designers. We hope to see attendees show up rocking their favorite DIY or upcycled pieces!
This event is part of Seattle Made Week 2026 and is produced by Northwest Sewn and in collaboration with the Seattle Central College School of Apparel Design & Development. Sponsored by Washington State Microenterprise Association (WSMA.) Explore resources for entrepreneurs using WSMA's Evergreen BizLink tool.
