Do you want a more ethical wardrobe? but can't seem to find any 'ethically made' clothes that reflect your style or your wallet, well have you thought about remaking clothes you already have?
Instead of throwing old clothes away you could re-fashion them and give them a new lease of life. Want a new jumper? then dig deep into your wardrobe and find one you already have and give it a new cut? colour? or design?
Would you consider doing this? or does the thought of a pair of scissors and your favourite jeans in one hand bring on a sweat? Well, you don't have to worry about ruining clothes by re-fashioning them yourselves. Traid are running workshops that you can join and learn how to embelish/cut and redesign old clothes. It's a good way to reduce landfill, shrink the carbon footprint and cut down on the use of new materials. Plus you get bask in the glory of knowing nobody will be wearing the same clothes as you!
So think before you throw and head down to Traid now. They are running FREE workshops that take place the second Thursday of every month, 6pm and 9pm at Traid Camden, 154 Camden High Road, London NW1 0NE. Book your place by emailing sewgood@traid.org.uk
