– A greener everyday life is something I value and prioritize in my life, says 19-year-old Ingrid Margrethe Backer from Fredrikstad. This weekend she is going to the event “Fæbrikstad” in the Viking Ship in Hamar. Over 5,000 are registered for the recycling festival. As part of the event, a sewing course will be arranged, where everyone who wants to can sew their own jacket. There, “Fæbrik” hopes that they will break the world record.

Backer will help sew his own jacket from used fabric. – But will they make it happen? – We are probably people, says Ingrid Bergtun. THIS IS HOW IT WILL BE: In addition to the sewing workshop, half the Viking ship will be filled with many actors. There will be, among other things, a knitting village, sewing village and speakers.

That’s who we’re going to beat. In 2016, the world record for “stitching together” was broken in Malaysia. But whether they can do it is not certain. The world record can be broken if someone is on their mobile phone or if the power goes out. – We are very excited, says Bergtun. FÆBRIK: The founders behind “Fæbrik”.

Yes, it’s good for the environment and fun to sew! 🧵 No, but I could think of trying! No, I don’t think this is for me Show result Youngest participant is ten years old Ingrid Margrethe Backer would like more measures to be taken when it comes to used clothes, for example when shopping online. – The shipping could have been much cheaper when it comes to used rather than new. FæBRIK: The Fæbrik founders are Ingrid Bergtun, Jenny Skavlan, Mari Norden and Ingrid Vik Lystne. Here during The Gathering. Photo: Fæbrik Ingrid Vik Lystne is also the founder of Fæbrik and visual influences. She says it is a festival for everyone who is interested in reuse, sewing, knitting and crocheting. – Or for those who are curious about making their own clothes and some of what will be the solution to our new green clothing consumption. Most women have signed up, but also many boys, both on the sewing course and for the rest of the festival. WATER: The Viking ship was full of water in the basement when they had to look around the premises.

She says several actors come to help with the repair of sports equipment or, for example, shoes. – It’s good that more people are learning to make their own clothes At 07 a separate sewing train leaves from the Oslo area to Hamar. Lan Marie Berg (MDG) will be there. – This is “slow fashion” in practice! I think it’s good that more people learn to make their own clothes and fix the clothes you already have, then you don’t become as dependent on buying new ones and you can make the clothes you already have last longer. At the same time, political action is needed, she says in an email to news. She says that in the Storting MDG is working to ensure that the clothing chains must take climate responsibility for their products and that it will not be allowed to throw away usable clothes. HAPPY: Lan Marie Berg (MDG) will learn to sew at the festival. Photo: Tommy Iversen / news – And that it should be easier to run a second-hand shop, she says. – When so many people are involved, the government is forced to change the clothing policy, she believes. Guri Melby (V) will also make the trip. She is looking forward to the trip. – Creating meeting places and places that promote sustainable alternatives and that make it easier for people to make green choices in everyday life is exactly what we need more of, she says. COMING: Guri Melby (V) has decided to go to Fæbrikstad. Photo: William Jobling / news Last Tuesday, the county committee in Innlandet decided to support Fæbrikstad AS with NOK 800,000 for a recycling festival. According to the plan, the festival will be organized annually. HEAVILY INSPIRED: – The whole “fæbrikstad” is heavily inspired by “the gathering”, where people bring their computers to play games together. While here people bring their sewing machines to sew together. We use the tables for the gathering, so it will probably look a bit like that, says Ingrid Vik Lystne.
