At the start of this project, I struggled with what to do, but when I found out that the 18-year-old curtains from my childhood bedroom were being thrown out I knew I wanted to incorporate them. So, I homed in on the idea of bringing back meaning to what we wear, instead of buying things on a whim I want to put love and individuality into clothing. So, when picking my garments, I based them off the curtains to make it more personal. I researched about clothing before the industrial revolution and incorporated the ‘Make Do and Mend’ aspect from World War 2, to help get my idea across.
