Fukuoka For Sustainability (FFS) website: https://ffs.green
HI GUYS! This is a bit different from the rest of our content, but we co-founded a non-profit volunteer group with some friends here in Fukuoka called Fukuoka For Sustainability, or FFS (For FUK's Sake!) We do things like beach cleanups and we try to raise awareness in Japan about sustainability. For this stream we have a special guest: Clémentine from "mikan bags" on Instagram and Etsy. Clementine upcycles used kimono into fashionable bags, and for this stream she's going to teach us how to mend old clothing with holes or stains so that we can keep wearing our favorite things instead of throwing them out!
We'll be following along with her tutorial during the live stream. Here's a list of materials if you want to try to follow along as well!
MATERIALS
You will need:
*Clothes to fix (or decorate)
*Threads and hand needles
*Pins (you can do without but they would definitely help!)
*Small pieces of fabric to create the motifs from (about 20cm). Use what is around you: you can cut from discarded clothes or home-wear that you have at home to recycle! Get creative and use different colors, textiles...
*Scissors
*A few coins of different sizes (¥500 , ¥100...) to shape the fabrics in small circles
*Clothes Iron
