Woman spends 4 months making a fleece sweater from scratch to teach others about ‘slow’ clothing

Macy Gilliam embarked on an incredible journey, spending four months crafting a fleece sweater entirely from scratch to explore the concept of 'slow' clothing. She began by collecting raw fleece from a sheep and learned each step of the process, from scouring to spinning and finally knitting. This hands-on experience gave her a deep appreciation for the labor that goes into making garments and the people behind the scenes. Gilliam hopes her project inspires others to value handmade clothing and support fair labor practices in the fashion industry.
