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.
