About the page author
“I am Elena, a needlewoman and a blogger, I live in the UK,” writes today's heroine of our column. Elena does not just love to sew and enjoys doing this, talking about the process on her blog and Instagram. A follower of the ideas of informed consumption and slow fashion, our heroine set a goal: to create the perfect wardrobe with her own hands. “2015 was the year when I decided to create a meaningful, reasonable wardrobe,” she says. “What does this mean? For different people, this concept can be interpreted differently. For me it is a leisurely creation of a capsule wardrobe, sewing do-it-yourself stuff, as well as saving and making ethically sound decisions when I need to get something new. "
“I do this because I like to open the closet and put on something well-made, loved and with a story, something that will serve me for a long time,” Elena says. She admits that now there are fewer things than before, but these things bring more joy and remain in service longer.
