A Joyful Rebellion
Street Stitching is an act of gentle disruption that demonstrates the pleasure and necessity of garment repair in areas of fast fashion chains where consumers are already thinking about replacing or adding to their wardrobe.
In high streets across the UK and around the world, people form lines of chairs along the centre of their high streets to sit and mend. Each Street Stitcher has a hand made chair-banner with the hashtag #stitchitdontditchit and a QR code linking to free online repair demos for anyone interested.
This is not a protest. It is an encouragement.
A way of showing what we’d like more of rather than a protest about what we want less of. The action is a co-ordinated, visually-cohesive happening that takes place
on the same day at the same time in dozens of towns and cities.
Anyone can join the line.
Or become a Line Maker and form an event in their area.
