0:00:09 > 0:00:14- I've been making clothes using - recycled materials for some years.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20- I live in a small house - on the top of a mountain.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23- I'm surrounded - by thousands of sheep.
0:00:24 > 0:00:30- I'd like to use their coats - to create something like this.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33- This is knitting wool.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- I'd like to use it - to create material...
0:00:37 > 0:00:39- ..that would be available - on a roll.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- I could then cut up the material - to make clothes...
0:00:43 > 0:00:46- ..and more specifically, - the 'betgwn'.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49- Betgwn is a traditional jacket...
0:00:49 > 0:00:54- ..which has been part of the - Welsh costume for many centuries.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59- I want to create this jacket - because it has a great shape...
0:00:59 > 0:01:03- ..and it looks great - on all kinds of women.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05- My label is called Wench.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09- My aim is to modernize - an old folk tradition.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14- This is the first jacket that's - been created. It's the prototype.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- It was designed by a team - at Coleg Sir Gar.- - https://www.colegsirgar.ac.uk/
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- It's been made from calico.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23- I wanted to create a more - contemporary style of the jacket...
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- ..for the modern woman.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- I wanted long sleeves.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- It's also a little shorter - in length and I've added a hood...
0:01:32 > 0:01:36- ..considering the amount of rain - we get in this country.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- This is the version I've created - from the pattern.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42- It's unfinished.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- I've created it using blankets.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49- The material is quite thick so - it doesn't hang like I wanted it to.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54- It's important to experiment with - material of different thickness...
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- ..to find out what's ideal to use.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05- I've used the same pattern - and added a hood.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- We're lucky to be living - in such a special place...
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- ..on top of a mountain.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- However, conventional electricity - doesn't run to the house...
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- ..so instead, we have two - solar panels and a wind turbine.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- If there's no sun, - we hope that the wind is blowing.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- That's more or less enough...
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- ..to supply power - to the house and for sewing.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46- I hope that the jacket becomes - something that can be worn...
0:02:46 > 0:02:52- ..and a garment that appeals - to women of all ages in Wales.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57- Together, we can bring back - a part of our traditional costume.
