Thesis Paper:
Action Project Description:
I offered my services as a seamstress to people in the Animas community by repairing and revamping old clothes. The purpose of my project was to reduce textile waste in landfills and the strane on consumers wallets from having to constantly replace pieces of their wardrobe. I repaired holes, brought up hems and did a variety of other repairs.
