Writer Barbara Burman celebrates not only sewing’s recent resurgence, but sewists’ creativity, well-being and community.Tens of millions of people sew for necessity or pleasure every day, yet the craft is surprisingly under-appreciated.
Barbara Burman, author of The Point of the Needle: Why Sewing Matters, will redress the balance, arguing for sewing’s place in our lives. She’ll celebrate not only sewing’s recent resurgence but sewists’ creativity, well-being and community. Join her as she provides an insight into people who sew today, by hand or machine, exploring what they sew, what motivates them, what they value and why they mend things, revealing insights into sewing’s more intimate stories.
In our age of superfast fashion with its environmental and social injustices, Barbara will make a passionate case for identity, diversity, resilience and memory – what people create for themselves as they stitch and make.
