I'm not particularly keen on the Masked Singer as popular entertainment (the almost fascistic chant of 'Take it Off' is particularly alarming), but I have to admit finding out that the mask/costumes themselves have kept a 280 people strong textile fabrication team in work for seven years leaves me a little more well disposed towards the show....
Sometimes the resilience of craft production stems from unpredicted culture practice(s).

Love getting behind the loom again after a short break
Able to weave again now that work has eased slightly

Thrushes kept stealing the strawberries in William Morris's kitchen garden at Kelmscott Manor, so he put them on a fabric. Strawberry Thief, 1883, was printed by indigo discharge at his Merton Abbey works. Slow and expensive. People bought it anyway.
The William Morris Gallery in Walthamstow reopened in October, with new space for what he took from Islamic art:

Clothes moth larvae eat keratin, so clean wool is still food to them. Dirt decides whether they settle in: a 2021 study in Genes notes the larvae usually feed on material soiled with dirt and sweat. So a wool blanket goes into storage clean and dry all the way through, in a cotton bag rather than a sealed plastic bin.

Visible Mending in the News
Startup Everbloom has developed renoa, a new alternative clothing fiber crafted from protein waste sources including cashmere scraps, wool remnants, and feather down.
The US Federal Trade Commission recently approved it as the first new fiber classification in 25 years.
A comforter is filled, a quilt is filled thinly, and a duvet cover has no fill at all. It is one layer of cloth with an opening, and the filled part slides inside it. The working rule: if it has fill and you cannot wash it, it wants a cover. If it has no fill, it probably is one.

"Bangladesh garment factory workers bear the brunt of rising temperatures"
Greenwashing is rife in fashion, but some brands are driving real change.
Patagonia repaired 174k+ items in 2025 and cut PFAS, Nudie Jeans fixed 66k+ pairs via lifetime repairs, PUMA made 9M+ garments via textile recycling, and Zara partnered with Circ to recycle poly-cotton blends.
But true credibility will require structural shifts in sourcing, chemistry, and repair networks, not just marketing campaigns.
