Why is learning to sew sustainable?
The fashion industry produces more carbon emissions than all international flights and all maritime shipping combined as illustrated by Putting the brakes on fast fashion UN report. Learning to sew is an important skill in our fight against climate change, as Manchester Environmental Education network shows. Sewing is a useful skill as it means we can:
- Mend clothing, sewing on buttons or stitching up holes
- Adjust clothing to fit us, taking in seams at the waist or hemming up skirts and trousers if too long.
- Customise and upcycle clothing to give it a new lease of life, so we don’t throw it away
- Examine our clothes more carefully and appreciate the workmanship that’s gone into creating them
- Practice mindfulness, doing something which is slow and calming, thus reducing stress.
