Ten wheel loop for a piece of cloth...and many more lives to touch...

So like the cat and it’s many lives, the textile loop goes like this

1- fabric made (long process from fibre to fabric...)

2- designs produced and sold (one more long process from designer to market)

3- surplus fabric rolls not being used will go to Craig, whose father was in Berwick streets, so knows contacts, and grandfather tailor, a three generation loop in London

4- Online technology pushed trade away from shops, and fabrics now to find a new home in warehouse

5- Brexit created changes for Buff London entrepreneur Jools who rented warehouse space to Craig

6- Street violence and youth needing new skills linked to industry shrinking implied surplus resources going to waste: fabrics and sewing factorie... leading to social creative enterprise in 2008 as CS4, Creative Studio 4 on Broadwater Farm frontline till 2017...led by creative youths and a tutor, Cat

7- SueMe sustainable sportswear started jacket development from CS4 in support of local sewing programmes helping those furthest from social engagement as well as young mums sewing project SEW, leading to break bond with baby and learn new skills, make friends, adjust to a new life

8- Engagement in passing on surplus fabric supplies from CS4 to educational systems, local London community groups, and individuals building new social sustainable creative enterprises...

9- You the reader and future creator... present in this story and inspired we hope...

10- Here is what was folded up for Rosie to pick up on 24-10-19: thank you for being part of the loop and giving birth to new original designs... show the world what creativity can achieve...
