Fabric Forge HTX

Congratulations to our newest Industrial Sewing Program graduates! 🎉

A few weeks ago, we wrapped up another 12-week Industrial Sewing Program cohort, and we're incredibly proud of everything these participants accomplished.

This cohort completed hands-on industrial sewing training alongside embedded ESL and digital literacy classes, gaining practical skills that can translate directly into employment opportunities, career advancement, and greater confidence in everyday life.

At Fabric Forge, we believe workforce development should meet people where they are. That's why we pair technical training with language learning, digital skills, and free onsite childcare, removing barriers and creating opportunities for individuals and families to thrive.

This was our third cohort to complete the program in our new home at Connect Highstar, and every graduation reminds us why this work matters. When people have access to the right tools, support, and opportunities, they can build brighter futures for themselves and their families.

Congratulations to this amazing group. We can't wait to see where your journey takes you next! 🧵✨

What a day at Good Finds Market! 💛

Thank you to everyone who came out to support our local vendors, makers, and creatives at Fabric Forge. We had an incredible turnout, and our community showed up ready to shop small, connect, and celebrate local talent. 🛍️✨

From handmade goods and artisan finds to fabric treasures and creative crafts, the market was full of energy, creativity, and community spirit. We especially loved seeing kids enjoying the craft activities and families spending time together exploring everything the market had to offer.

A huge thank you to all of our amazing vendors, volunteers, and attendees for making this event such a success. Events like these are what community is all about. Supporting one another, creating together, and building something meaningful right here in Gulfton and Sharpstown.

We can’t wait to do it again. 💫
