Recycle. Repair. Reuse - Article for vocal.media featured as Top Story in Earth Community

Fiona AlexanderComment

This week I wrote an article for vocal.media and am delighted for it to have been chosen as a Top Story in the Earth Community section.

The article was for a challenge sponsored by fiskars.com (Finnish company making all sorts of home, craft and gardening tools including, of course, dressmaking scissors!) and talks about my love of recycling fabric.

It was an interesting project and great to focus again on the reasons why recycling and reusing our existing textiles when possible is important and fun.

Happy recycling!
