I’m Netty Lou textile maker, mender and slow sew enthusiast with over 35 years of experience in fashion, textiles and interiors. I teach people to mend, alter and re-love the things they already own, through workshops, kits and honest, heart led making. Everything here begins with the same belief, that the things we already own have more life in them than we think. A tear is not the end of a story and a garment with a hole in it is not ruined, it is simply waiting for someone to care for it. The Story of Things is built on that idea. Around the quiet, radical act of mending rather than discarding. Championing the pleasure of slowing down, using your hands and making something useful or wearable from something you almost gave up on. This is where that story continues. Welcome.
