A dynamic resurgence in sewing and knitting is under way, with many
people enjoying making and mending their own garments at home.
However, stories abound of homemade clothes languishing at the back of
the wardrobe. Amy Twigger Holroyd draws on ideas of fashion, culture
and craft to explore makers' lived experiences of creating and wearing
homemade clothes in a society dominated by shop-bought garments. Using
the innovative metaphor of fashion as common land, Folk Fashion
investigates the complex relationship between making, well-being and
sustainability. Twigger Holroyd combines her own experience as a
designer and knitter with first-hand accounts from folk fashion makers
to explore this fascinating, yet under-examined, area of contemporary
fashion culture.Looking to the future, she also considers how sewers
and knitters might maximise the radical potential of their activities.
