The Milk Bottle Dove Project
May I invite you to consider some different approaches to answer the question of ‘what to make?’ In generations past, hand-crafting skills were honed by necessity. Textiles were expensive so clothes were mended and worn–out clothes were recycled into quilts and rugs. Buttons and zips were unstitched and used in a new dress. Socks were darned, trousers were patched and Dad could fix almost anything around the house with the tools in his shed and the bits and bobs collected and stored in jam jars over the years. A lot of time and energy was devoted to mending and fixing items around the home, not because these jobs were a thrilling creative outlet for the adults of the household, but because they needed to be done.
