The face behind The Fabric Folk
I’m Marina, founder of The Fabric Folk — a creative textile reuse organisation rooted in design, sustainability, and practical skill-sharing.
I started The Fabric Folk after seeing just how much perfectly usable fabric is discarded locally and globally, and recognising the need for more thoughtful, accessible ways to work with what already exists.
With a background in industrial design and hands-on craft practice, I create and deliver workshops, projects, and partnerships that combine sewing, mending, and embroidery with circular thinking.
My work supports individuals, communities, and organisations to build confidence with reusing, repairing and upcycling textiles — all with the aim of keeping fabric in circulation for as long as possible.
