To achieve this, we believe that we need a place where people involved in the apparel industry can exchange opinions and learn from each other, regardless of industry, age, gender, etc. > started in November 2023, mainly with members who met through X. This time, we would like to once again recruit a wide range of community members as Fasho Biba, a community of people working in the apparel industry that creates connections. (Free) About past activities Questions and exchange of opinions on [Discord] Currently, most of the members are only connected through X, and are made up of people from various occupations, including presidents of garment factories, owners of select shops, pattern makers, freelance seamstresses, company employees at manufacturers, and managers. . We have members from Kansai, the Chugoku region, Kansai, and Tohoku, so we usually communicate through an app called Discord by asking questions that come up in the course of work, and having experienced members answer them.

Although the course was a half-day in Osaka and almost a full day in Imabari, more than 90% of the participants said they were very satisfied. In a questionnaire survey conducted after the event, sewing operators surprisingly said, “I realized that I lacked important knowledge about the sewing machines that I usually use.” I was able to learn anew how the sewing machine worked, and I learned a lot from now on when using a sewing machine.”

You can also understand that your peers are your competitors and that your technology and skills are your own. However, as many manufacturers and factories in Japan continue to go out of business, I think there are limits to the power of individuals and small factories. We would like to work with you to create a community where we can share knowledge, technology, and experience, and where both individuals and companies can improve each other in business. If you are a factory manager and don’t have any employees to consult with, if you belong to a company but want to improve your skills by interacting with people outside the company, if you work individually and you can help each other. We welcome people who want to make friends, as well as people who want us to create products. Please join us. Click here for the Fasho Biba member registration page Founding member swingby LLC
