Did you know women are the driving force behind the fashion industry?
•
💰 Women control over 70% of global fashion spending.
🛍️ On average, women buy 60% more clothing than men.
♻️ The resale and handmade fashion markets are growing, with women leading the charge in sustainable shopping - great news!
📱 Over 75% of online fashion purchases are made by women.
👠 The global women’s apparel market is expected to hit $1.2 trillion by 2025!
•
As crocheters and knitters, we already know the value of slow fashion. Handmade pieces last longer, create less waste, and tell a story. But there’s still more we can do without even picking up our tools!
•
Follow me on my journey to the @missgb_official pageant as I share simple ways to make fashion more sustainable - enhancing the work already being done by handmade and mindful crafting! ♻️✨

Still not convinced on the colour of this not-so-pure-white white cardigan, especially when it hits sunlight and is practically YELLOW - but twilight really shows off this baby and we can at least make believe it’s Snow White…

I was TOO excited to not share this stunner of a photo by @briangardiner_photography (who is on a quest to get 1,000 followers so go check him out!) — if there was a photo to sum me up: this would be it!

Today, I stand not as a @missgb_official finalist, but as a woman — proud, empowered, and celebrating the strength we all share. 💫
•
International Women’s Day is a reminder that our achievements, resilience, and voices matter — with or without titles. Here’s to strong women everywhere: may we know them, may we be them, may we raise them.

Couldn’t let today pass without a post showing off my new Ms Great Britain finalist sash and my amazing updo and makeup by @arusartistry 💜

You might have heard I’m a finalist for Ms Great Britain (@missgb_official) 🇬🇧 representing all of the knitters and crocheters out there! 🧶 I couldn’t be more excited to use this platform for something that truly matters 🌍
•
In the lead-up to the pageant, I’m making it my mission to highlight the importance of sustainability in making everyday fashion choices. Read: that doesn’t mean you have to stop shopping or completely turning away from buying new pieces! ❌
•
I work in an industry that is directly linked to fashion, and I’ve seen firsthand how much impact our choices can make. Small changes, like opting for sustainable materials, shopping secondhand, or supporting eco-conscious brands, can make a huge difference, but there’s so much more…
•
On my path to the pageant I’ll be:
⭐️ posting statistics on fashion sustainability that I witness first hand working in my industry
⭐ tips on how small changes can make a big impact
⭐️ I’ll be hosting monthly raffles for knitting/crochet goodies as I try and smash my £10,000 target for @cr_uk
⭐️ I’ll be representing every knitter and crocheter out there, so I’ll attempt to make my first round outfit! The colour needs to be ❤️ RED ❤️ (which I seem to be having a love affair with lately)
•
I hope you’ll support me in this new adventure, which is taking me so far out of my comfort zone, whether it’s through donations, words of wisdom or encouragement, I am appreciative of all of you and know I will get through this with my yarny community around me ❤️
