This lockdown pastime aligns well with concerns about fashion's impact on climate change.

PhD student Lea Baecker makes ethical, well-fitting clothes.

On Instagram, Lea shares the outfits she's sewn with her followers.

It was founded by designer Tara Viggo.

New sewists are having a positive effect on the environment and changing people's thoughts on fast fashion through their recycling.
