Expert Feature: how to textile repairs

From Afternoons, 2:30 pm on 29 July 2024

Anna Hicks is a sustainable fashion and textile artist - and her ethos - is the antithesis to the fast fashion industry.

Anna's upcycled fashion has exhibited both here and overseas including in the World of Wearable Arts and NZ Eco-fashion week. She currently works for the internationally renowned sewing machine company - Bernina - but in her weekends runs workshops on how to make the most of what you've got.

She joins Jesse to talk about upcycling clothes, the benefits of visible mending - and how to get started.
