Rochester Refugee Sewing & Repair

Thanks for being the best community we could ever ask for. We are so glad to be here and we’ll be even happier to see you in 2021. Take care, stay safe, and stay warm!

Hammering out some quilting patterns before we close for the holidays! We’re also working on sourcing sustainable down. A large part of our work in 2021 will be focused on returning to upcycling, sustainable sourcing, and climate-smart business plans. . . . #rochester #rochesterny #madeinny #goosedown #scarf #refugeeswelcome #smallbusiness #shoplocal

For our last donation of 2020, 500 cloth masks are going out to refugees in Rochester courtesy of Bikash and his crew of hard-working volunteers. We’ll soon be shutting down the shop for a couple of weeks while we recap the last year, study up, and prepare for SS21. We are so proud to be a part of this beautiful community. Thank you all for you support and happy holidays to you and yours. Stay warm and stay safe! . . . #rochesterny #sewing #industrialsewing #mask #masks #maskup #design #industrialdesign #community #refugeeswelcome
