Through the employment of two machinists, two trainee machinists in the first instance, locals to prepare and pack the clothing for sale, locals to undertake marketing and art work and locals to sell items. It's envisaged the sale outlet will bring interested buyers to town who will also find out what else the town has to offer. Using local sources of clothing and fabric through donations and purchase, we will seek to use local 'waste' and be able to monitor the environmental footprint through that and other including use of electricity, water, the impact more broadly.
