🧵By #mending a cotton t-shirt instead of replacing it, you could help to save over 7.5kg in #CO2e. That would be equivalent to ironing for over 25 hours.

The days of being told that #repair isn't an important part of a garment's life cycle are gone. I hope this will also lead to a change in the way that repair is perceived in our society; as a skilled and valuable #craft that deserves to be invested in and as a powerful environmental and political act.

Editioning is done! Upturned Boats is finished. I think I got about 27 good ones.

Warmer yellow, lighter blue, lighter dark grey. I think it all works well.

Nothing lines up! It was great fun to make and I will take all this learning going foward. This is not the end of me making stencils but just the beginning.
