Did you catch last weeks Great British Sewing Bee 🧵?
Contestant Anna was awarded Garment of the Week for her striking Himalayan balsam dress, created for the theme Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
Using this invasive plant in her design, Anna cleverly highlighted the erosion of riverbanks that Himalayan balsam can cause, transforming an environmental issue into a thought-provoking piece of wearable art.
It's fantastic to see creative projects like this raising awareness of the environmental impacts of species while showcasing just how beautiful and innovative sustainable design can be.
