The textile industry is one of the economically strongest sectors. Fast-changing fashion trends encourage people to buy (ultra-)fast fashion. This has a strong impact on our consumer behaviour and not least on the environment. This problem was already discussed over 100 years ago in the context of the reform fashion movement. In our workshop we want to inform about the almost unknown historical Dresden Association for the Improvement of Women's Clothing and look at our clothing inspired by its actors. What do we wear and why?

We want to raise awareness and invite people to appreciate the clothes we already have more. Do you have favourite pieces with holes that you can't part with yet? In your wardrobe, at the bottom, are forgotten lust purchases that you never wear?

Bring your (washed) clothes and we'll see how you can repair or upcycle them individually!
repair or upcycle them individually! We'll provide the materials for mending or sprucing up, but you're also welcome to bring your own fabric scraps and yarns. You don't necessarily need any sewing experience, we'll be there to help and advise you.
