From the world by a thread

British and Scottish enthusiasts have created an online catalog of all small businesses in the fashion industry. It includes small firms of manufacturers of clothing, fabrics and jewelry. First there were sections of the British part, then the time came for the Scots.



Unlike In England, the Scots live poorer and cannot boast of large cities like York, Newcastle or London. Beyond Edinburgh has a lot of tiny productions, and not everyone is ready to work in the tourism business or in the production of whiskey. Traditional crafts, knitting, weaving, jewelry and small sewing ateliers need first of all to be known and promoted via the Internet. When creating a large Internet resource MakeWorks, uniting the regions Of the United Kingdom, Scottish masters were singled out in a separate segment.



In addition to manufactories, they also try to help "self-employed", such as the dressmaker from Glasgow Betty Spock. She has a separate page with a description of the studio atelier, where you can order online any clothes. Betty will be sewing her from 4 weeks to two months, since everything from the sketch and pattern to sewing, the young woman performs alone. The cost of Betty's services ranges from one hundred pounds to half a thousand (from 9,000 to 50,000 rubles).



In such a simple way in Great Britain and Scotland is trying to unite on online platforms and catalog all those who work for the light industry in order to develop and support national production. A useful initiative, isn't it?
