Fabricland for the future
Fabricland plays an essential role in the Fashion & Design Industry in Canada. In the 60’s and 70’s, sewing was one of the primary ways of getting new clothes. As the clothing industry started to develop worldwide, the sewing industry began to transform into a niche business.

In the last decade, there has been a noticeable shift in why people sew. The “maker culture” means to reignite the artisan spirit through DIYs motivated by emotional drivers, such as self-expression, the sense of personal accomplishment, the creation of meaningful custom-made pieces, and the overall exercise of creativity & improving mental health.

There are many groups that sew & craft regularly: small business owners, cosplayers, home décor designers, wardrobe production companies for the increasing TV/movie industry in Canada.

Fabricland is part of the Canadian fashion industry’s history but also part of its future.
