Textile Repairs for Everyone
Talk by octoprog (he/they)
Have moths eaten your beloved heirloom sweater? Has your favourite pair of pants suffered from a tragic accident and now spots holes in various regions, where you do not want holes to exist? Is the strap of your favourite bag about to break? Fear not, for most of these issues can be fixed! Textiles are valuable but the rise of super fast fashion has led us to forget about that. While textile/garment quality is rapidly declining, so is our understanding of how to care for them. The goal of this talk is to showcase a variety of mending techniques for different garments and textile styles. Whether you prefer purely functional repairs, discreet fixes, or bold, visible mending, you’ll find an approach that suits you. Ultimately, the aim is to enable anyone to start repairing and understanding their own textiles.
