Local Fibre, Local Labour, Local Colour at the Manitoba Fibre Festival

One Year One Outfit is a community-based collection of stories and fibre pieces exploring local material and human resources, coordinated by the Pembina Fibreshed. Between April 2022 and April 2023 participants spent 12 months growing, designing and constructing wearable items made exclusively from locally sourced materials.  From tanned buckskin and handspun wool to local clay buttons and basketry, the One Year One Outfit pieces showcase the abundance of fibre and botanical color available in our local fibreshed, as well as the skills and ingenuity of its makers.
