Curtains from King's country retreat transformed into festive stockings
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Old curtains from the royal residence of Sandringham House have been given a new lease of life, transformed into festive Christmas stockings for a charity auction. A dedicated sewing bee meticulously repurposed the luxurious fabric, crafting 25 unique stockings ahead of the festive season. The skilled members of the sewing bee operate from another stately home with royal connections, Dumfries House in Ayrshire, Scotland. Meeting weekly, the group has spent recent months meticulously working on the Sandringham material, turning it into bespoke items"
The Independent covers issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, sending reporters to developing stories. The outlet produces documentaries like 'The A Word' on American women fighting for reproductive rights, relies on donations to fund reporting, and keeps content free without paywalls so it remains accessible. Old curtains from Sandringham House were repurposed by a sewing bee at Dumfries House into 25 unique Christmas stockings. Members used hand embroidery, piping and seam matching, spending over six hours per piece; twenty-four are auctioned for The King's Foundation and one will be given to the King. The King's Foundation provides practical heritage skills training.
