[090] MEND IT, WEAR IT, LOVE IT – WITH ZOE EDWARDS

You'll be relived to hear we have a  guest! So you don’t have to listen to me rambling on endlessly. And it’s a cracker of a guest!
I’ve been stalking Zoe on line for years, after first coming across her annual Me Made May challenge online, and I was SO excited to find out that she’s written an actual book! All about mending and loving our clothes, a subject very close to my heart as a reformed mender who never even thought she would be able to sew on a button!

We chat about...

• Making your own clothes
• Why making your own clothes might not necessarily be the most sustainable option
• The problems with fast fashion, including Zoe's own experiences of working within the fast fashion industry
• Zoe's brilliant book - Mend It, Wear It, Love It - available now!!
• The importance of caring for the clothes we already own
• What equipment you need to get started mending (you don't need a sewing machine!)
• How to get started
• Whether there's any kind of stigma around wearing mended clothes
• And lots more...!
