Darn it, don't ditch it!
A meditative mending clinic with knitter Deborah Nash, founder of Granny Drops a Clanger and one of the founding artists of the a:dress. women, fashion and eco action project in Folkestone.
Bring that much loved article of clothing along and breathe new life into it using swiss and stocking darning techniques. Needles and yarn will be provided. This is a particularly good clinic for darning woollen garments (moth-eaten jumpers anyone?).
a:dress is a Folkestone-based project of activism and informal education designed to raise awareness and to challenge the devastating impact of fast fashion on the environment. Its focus is on female consumers, as women are disproportionately affected by both fast fashion and climate crisis.
