'World Cotton Day' 🧵 7th October
Celebrate World Cotton Day on 7th October with a cosy collection of facts, memories, music and creativity.
Discover cotton’s journey from plantation to mill and the story of the Singer sewing machine. Share memories of sewing baskets, darning socks, school embroidery and washing day - from twin tubs and mangles to rushing outside to rescue the washing from the rain!
Test your knowledge with our sewing-box and cotton fashions picture quizzes, then revisit Nick Kamen’s famous Levi’s advert. Enjoy Forever in Blue Jeans, Cotton Eye Joe, Dedicated Follower of Fashion, These Boots Are Made for Walkin’ and I Heard It Through the Grapevine.
Finish by creating a “No Place Like Home” cotton patchwork collage. Join in at your own pace - there’s plenty to talk about, sing along to and enjoy together.
Boosting brain power together to benefit quality of life.
