“Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing”, Oscar Wilde once said. The handmade movement, however, intends to re-establish the values of skill, effort and time.
Among the defenders of this trend are makers as famous as Natacha Plano, Golden Ponies, Arne & Carlos, Pica Pau, Mandarinas de tela, Les Gambettes Sauvages and Vickie Howell who in this issue give us some advice on how to be an artisan without dying in the intent (and also show us some very interesting DIY projects).
Plant, see, grow, create, recycle. You can experience all this with the many ideas and tutorials we present to you in the new Sewing Box issue. From “rediscovering” your wardrobe with the help of some thread and needles, getting inspired by the most creative work spaces or decorating your own with our cut-out illustrations (signed by Marylou Faure, Sara Mulvanny, Giorgia Atzeni and others), to making your own cosmetics with home-grown plants.
