Garco Sewing Works

GarCo Sewing Works, a partnership between Colorado Mountain College and Garfield County Human Services, is here to help people develop skills in sustainable textile manufacturing. Located in Rifle, CO, the GarCo Sewing Works Design Center has the technology, equipment, and staff to help students add sustainable textile manufacturing education and experience to their skill sets.

Not only can students learn how to sew at Garco Sewing Works, they can also design and produce clothing using cutting-edge fabric printing technology. GarCo Sewing Works is unique because of its focus on sustainable manufacturing through such measures as developing local supply chains, grassroots community involvement, and in-house manufacturing. Such renewable practices are not only good for the environment, they also support American manufacturing.

Whether students are interested in sustainable textile manufacturing, design, or simply adding sought after skills to their resumes, GarCo Sewing Works is here to help.
