More about this book

Marking a revival of the make-do-and-mend era, Woven & Worn showcases the variety of materials and processes used to craft wearables with both longevity and soul. Within this book, talented artisan makers such as weavers, dressmakers, dyers, and knitters give consumers the power to alter the tired fabric of the fashion industry and embrace the energetic campaign for a sustainable circular economy.

Woven & Worn offers a fascinating insight into the approaches of innovative global craftspeople as they create environmentally conscious clothing in a bid to protect the planet from the effects of a throwaway industry. Demonstrating the diversity within sustainable garment-making, this book highlights ground-breaking renewable materials and ingenious techniques. Textiles are created from reclaimed by-products of the food industry, such as banana and fish skins, and thoughtful techniques and “zero waste” production methods are utilized.

Discover tactile felted clothing, painterly plant-dyed textiles, and intricate weaved adornment alongside traditional repair techniques such as sashiko. Delve into the unseen creative workspaces of skilled crafters; admire their unique tools and processes, and absorb their intriguing stories.
