Green Wales - Make Do And Mend

Logo for Green Wales - Make Do And Mend

Feature on the trend for home-made and recycled clothes. Viewers may have childhood memories of the sound of knitting needles and a sewing machine. Perhaps a stitch has been dropped from generation to generation, but making do and mending, sewing, stitching and knitting are back. Some want to recycle clothes and materials because of their green principles, while others want to save money - and there's always the appeal of looking different and more individual when you make it yourself.
