The story behind SewnNotThrown
Me Sewing.

🕘

How it began

Introducing SewnNotThrown, a one-woman fabric recycling fashion brand run by Crawley based Meg Davis. After being inspired by TV’s The Great British Sewing Bee, Meg, 32, started making garments using preloved and unwanted fabrics in 2020 to bring together comfort and sustainability. 

Meg scours charity shops to find material and also offers custom-made items. She reveals: “One customer bought one of my jackets because it was made from a blanket she’d forgotten she'd had as a child and it brought back tons of happy memories. I make clothes to order if a customer has some fabric they want to upcycle.”

Our core values

Sustainability and upcycling is at the heart of SewnNotThrown - each item is made from preloved fabrics as the planet already has enough fabric to go around!
