connecting small businesses with small factories/workshops

Describe the problem you'd like to solve
When I was running my fashion label the hardest thing to find was small factories/workshops to manufacture small quantities of my product. Most manufacturers have MOQs of 500+ (which was far too much for someone like me!) But there are so many small workshops with skilled workers who want to work with small businesses, it's just hard to connect the two.

'As an independent ethical brand, I would like to find an easy way to connect with skilled workers who can produce low quantities of quality product so that I can run an environmentally and ethical brand'

Who are the stakeholders?
Skilled workers and small (fashion) businesses.

What is currently being done to solve this problem?
I don't know! It is very hard to connect with people like this unless you find them in person
