Sew True Sewing Company


The journey continues...We have been to see nearly everyone and their brothers. While we were recently emboldened by receiving the Reset Social Enterprise Trust Award for our innovative business model we are humbled by the work ahead and quite honestly all the red tape. Fear not we shall persevere! This is after all "a new business model" not everyone is quite ready for it, but strides are being made on many fronts. California has announced the recognition of a new business entity and here in Connecticut, ReSet Social Enterprise Trust is trying to push through the same type of legislation. If you would like to learn more about what a social enterprise is just contact our friends at ReSet.

Why This Blog


After 6 frustrating years of searching for a contract sewing shop to help us to create our USA made products we have decided to solve our own problem. We did not want just a sewing shop. We wanted a dynamic social enterprise and thus we have created a business model which will provide low-income, minority and non-English speaking individuals with jobs, training, education in areas such as ESL, computers, financial management, etc. and career opportunities in the green fashion industry. Founded by two women and operated as an eco and animal friendly company since its inception in 2005, GG2G is expanding its business to meet the market demand and fill a socio-economic objective of developing skilled, local craftsmen to manufacture its product.
