Learn to Sew
I’ve found several really inspiring campaigns in the last couple of weeks and tried to pop posts about them into the Sewing Journal so that you too can check them out:
Many of us become interested in sewing because we have social and environmental concerns, these challenges are a great way to share the reasons behind why we sew.
We’ve come to the close of the annual #whomademyclothes campaign, it starts each year on the anniversary of the Rana Plaza building in Bangladesh collapsing.
On 24 April 2013, 1,138 people died and another 2,500 were injured, making it the fourth largest industrial disaster in history… Thats when Fashion Revolution started. The #whomademyclothes campaign in April every year works to highlight transparency in the fashion industry.
To take part, make a pledge to wear the garments you made yourself more and/or in different ways. Then you showcase it throughout May. By the end of May, you will have learnt a whole load about yourself, your style, how you feel about your wardrobe, and how best to spend your clothes-making time going forwards.
