Field to Fashion

Anita Rani is in a green pocket of Blackburn to catch up with fashion designer and Great British Sewing Bee judge Patrick Grant to find out about the growing field-to-fashion movement. Patrick is behind a movement to revive the flax industry, once a mainstay of British agriculture, to create home-grown linen. Anita also tries her hand at spinning and finds out about growing woad to dye locally produced cloth. And she raids the Countryfile archives to celebrate British field-to-fashion artisans from tanners to sock makers, including the time Charlotte gave an angora rabbit a hair cut.
