Local Hero: StitchedUp, Chorlton

With the BBC’s documentary on the issues with fast fashion and clothing production, how can we make green choices in what we wear?

Stitched Up in Chorlton has a few ideas:

  • Clothes swaps – including tips from a stylist, how to care for your clothes and more
  • Sewing courses – make your own clothes; from beginners to advanced, one day workshops to longer courses, copy a favourite garment
  • Yard sale – saving remnant material from landfill and passing it on at bargain prices

They are also the home of the Manchester Repair Cafe.
