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