In November 2025, we called in our leaders, businesses, and key stakeholders across the textiles and sewing industries to answer the question: What is standing between us and having a thriving, regional sewn and textiles economy?
Now, we’re ready to present the findings from that session and get input from our community on a strategy moving forward. Northwest Sewn, a program of Good Business Network of Washington, will share our regional development goals while our partners at Mechanism will share pathways to bring our regional movement to the national effort. Your insights shared at this event will help inform our strategies, prioritize where investments are needed most, and validate how these efforts can best support your business and others like you.
What: The Future of Flexible Product Fabrication in the PNW
When: Thursday, Feb. 26, 2026 | 2-3:30pm PT
