Fabulous film night at Hawkers Farm last night. We watched 'The Next Black' which was all about sustainable fashion and the future of fashion. Re sparked my passion to spread the work about how important educating our children about recycling, reusing, mending and looking after our clothes aswell as purchasing slow fashion, clothing that we really love and want to keep for as long as possible. Stitch & Bling needs to get itself back in gear. So I'm excited to start delivering sustainable fashion talks and workshops again very soon!
