Lottie Crumbleholme: Lost Skills Depository (Monoscope) Lost Skills Depository, instructions for mending clothes “I started this project as I find mending well-loved clothes satisfying. I also like the idea that it’s a small but defiant act in the face of consumerism. I’d been thinking that now we have entered a recession, more people could be persuaded that mending their old clothes is a good idea, but as few people really know how to sew anymore it would be useful if they could access really simple instructions outlining basic techniques.” —Lottie Crumbleholme
