Picture
At the Redding Fashion Alliance,
​the heart of of what makes us tick...er, sew, is our wonderful community of creators. The North State is rich in talent when it comes to creators in the textile arts.  Our mission is to amplify their voices by helping them create sustainable small businesses. 


As with many other nonprofits affected by the pandemic, our ability to realize this mission was greatly impacted by the loss of students and small batch manufacturing contracts. Our in-house sewing and construction talent attracts designers who hire us to produce mini lines for them, as well as students wishing to learn the important design, construction and creative skills embodied by the textile arts, providing crucial revenue for RFA.
As we pivoted our efforts during the pandemic, many of these projects were shelved. 

In March 2020, when the world started to shut down due to COVID-19, we turned RFA’s Makers' space into a PPE and COVID mask factory, manufacturing nearly 1,200 reusable isolation/medical gowns for local health facilities and 6,000 masks for our community. This was a sustainable solution to the PPE shortage, protected a lot of healthcare workers, provided essential jobs to approximately 30 people throughout 2020, and kept our doors open.  
​
We, as with everyone, are excited to be getting back to work - creating fashion wares for North State designers and educational opportunities for future creators. We are re-building our creative community and need to support. 
Won't you please consider donating by becoming an RFA Insider.
Thank you for helping us keep the North State Creative Community alive.
