Ever looked at your grandmother’s doilies and thought they would make an excellent top or scrunchie, but don’t know how to do it? Been to the flea market and found the coolest fabric you have ever seen, but don’t know what to do with it? Being able to see possibilities and transform old clothes and textiles into beautiful garments is perhaps Ingrid’s superpower. And she is sharing the sewing-process with us, too. Over the past couple of years, Ingrid has risen to become a well-known re-designer and reusing influencer in Norwegian social media. It is sustainability in practice, and it is available to all.
This storymap is a part of the BeUBio storymap series young people whose business ideas, jobs and other activities lead the way towards a different and more sustainable economic path. With a variety of different examples, young people from across the Baltic Sea Region, inspire new ways of making business while having a positive impact to the environment and society. The overall aim is to build a community of like-minded people, by sharing our stories and inspiring each other.
This initiative comes from the BeUBio project, a collaboration between different partners across the Baltic Sea Region pushing for youth participation in the transition to a bio-based economy, and create synergies with other actors and initiatives addressing the SDGs.
