Our clothes carry the stories of the lives we lead

Our clothes carry the stories of the lives we lead and more often than not, the tears, rips and threadbare zones can offer up some clues about our lifestyle or habits. Whether darned, reworked or visibly mended using techniques like sashiko repair, a garment begins to tell a story of the wearer.

At Fast Fashion Therapy, repair, upcycling and remodelling of used clothes is encouraged, aiming to break our habit of always buying new. Their online workshops include refreshing and repairing knitwear, de-pilling/de-bobbling, fixing loose and pulled threads, and more.

TOAST invite you to appreciate the worn and aged, uncovering the history and emotional value of the items we hold on to, rather than discard. Classes cover topics such as darning knitwear: just bring your own beloved blanket, jumper, or any other threadbare item in need of a little TLC.

Where previous generations mended as unobtrusively

Where previous generations mended as unobtrusively as possible, perhaps embarrassed by enforced thrift, new-wave repairers use a more decorative style of “visible mending”. The Japanese knitwear specialist Hiraru Noguchi regularly contributes to the #visiblemending on Instagram with tutorials on IGTV covering a huge array of topics, from covering stains to darning socks.

“Mending is about the journey travelled, not reinstating the impossible perfection of the new.”
-Jessica Smulders-Cohen

Having hosted many workshops so far, the CASCADE project has seen that both makers and consumers are looking to make more consciously responsible fashion choices.

There is a growing interest in the craft of repair. Now is the perfect time for the resurgence of a repair culture, but many of us do not have the skills needed due to schools focusing on STEM subjects rather than the Arts. Therefore, this week we’ve chosen to focus on a selection of free online classes and resources to help you mend your garments with panache. We’d love to see the fruits of your efforts, share them here using the hashtag #todayimmaking. If you come across other classes you think we should include, do let us know!

It has come to light that the University of Wolverhampton have withdrawn 138 courses, many of them in the Arts. Eroding the facilities and opportunities to study Arts at this level places barriers for young people seeking the opportunity to specialise in a creative career, with the sector contributing £3.4 billion to the U.K. economy, creative careers are fundamental to our future workforce.

Research from the Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre, written in partnership with Nesta has tells us: “Creativity is likely to become even more important in the future job market. Although it may seem ubiquitous, far from every job advert lists ‘creativity’ as a requirement. In fact, job adverts for the DCMS Creative Occupations official list are still far more likely to ask for it. Strikingly, jobs asking for creativity are also much more likely to grow as a percentage of the workforce by the year 2030.”
