As textile waste legislation approaches, Lisa Bjurdamm offers sustainable solutions in Bobacken.
Through personalised workshops, she teaches participants how to mend their clothes and contribute to more sustainable textile consumption.
We need to learn to love the scars on our garments. Taking care of your clothes is easier than many people think, says Lisa Bjurdamm, who runs the company Solsmula.
From 1 January 2025, all textile waste will be sorted and collected separately, making the reuse and recycling of textiles a natural part of our everyday lives.
With this in mind, Lisa, an experienced textile artisan, has decided to offer workshops where she guides participants through the process of making their own clothes.
It's a kind of handicraft lesson for adults, no knowledge is too small and no question too stupid. I show everything from how to repair holes in a creative way to how to change a zip," says Lisa.
Today, we have clothes for six generations in our wardrobes. It's a big global challenge but it comes down to each individual to make wise decisions.
One step is to get away from the throwaway culture and get back to the way things used to be, when we took care of our clothes.
The best way to recycle is to never let clothes become waste in the first place. Repairing and caring for what we already have is the most sustainable option. Many people want to do the right thing, but don't know how," says Lisa.
