Sown Stories is an inter-generational tool kit, which has been carefully crafted to encourage story telling from the linen industry, especially from older generations. So many stories from this time remain untold, only to appear in subtle anecdotes or long lost memories. This interactive tool kit aims to capture these memories, and to create an archive of them for future generations, it is made up of  seven different components:

- An interactive workbook.
- Stickers that encourage playfulness.
- Postcards for the older generation to record an analogue response.
- A deck of question cards.
- A questioning device
- A camera to record imagery and the faces behind the stories.
- A box to ship above, that makes it as simple as possible to circulate the tool kit.

Each element has been designed for a younger person to engage with and learn about linen directly from someone older who worked in the industry. This Tool kit links to an online space where oral histories of linen are recorded, by taking part you are also adding to an online collective archive.
