Summary

Sophie is full of the joys of Spring and plans to tidy up her garden so she can take coffee on the patio while Kate, having just renovated her windows and replaced her boiler and radiators is quite happy for Winter to carry on for a bit longer especially as her garden is full of renovation rubble. This week on the show the pair interview Jules Haines, of The Haines Collection, who is on a quest to reduce waste in the interior design industry one metre of a fabric at a time. To date she has saved over 22,000m of material (that’s enough to make more than 10,000 pairs of jeans). With 42 per cent of all textiles in UK landfill coming from the home (the rest is fashion) Jules set up The Haines Collection in 2020, a digital platform dedicated to diverting leftover fabric from landfill by offering a portal through which brands can sell unused and leftover fabrics. We hear about what motivates Jules – how she once saved some £1000 rolls of wallpaper from a skip - which brands are trying to make a difference and how we can all do our part to help.

0:00.0	This ad is brought to you by Fevertree. The summer is finally coming and I'm thinking
0:12.6	of long light evenings, friends in the garden and summer cocktails. Oh yes, I hear you
0:18.1	but making cocktails at home is a bit of a faff, don't you think? I might just have a
0:22.0	glass of wine. Well, Fevertree, who are best known for their delicious tonics, have just
0:26.8	launched a new range of cocktail mixes that are incredibly easy to make and, well, the taste
0:32.4	amazing. Well, that sounds brilliant. So there's no need to be squeezing limes or buying all those
0:37.6	liqueurs and syrups that you end up half-using and then leaving them to gather dust in the back
0:42.7	of the cupboard. Exactly. Now, I'm a margarita girl myself and all you have to do is add tequila
0:48.4	to the Fevertree margarita mixer, give it a bit of a stir and there you have it, the most delicious
0:53.6	cocktail in seconds. Areba! So you don't even need a cocktail shaker? Well, you can actually stir
0:59.4	or shake if you're feeling a bit, well, you know, adventurous and if you want to shake anything
1:04.4	with a lid will do, like a jam jar. Although a couple of cocktails in and I'm ready to try all those
1:09.1	fancy bartending moves. Oh, I bet you are. You can find Fevertree products in your nearest waitros,
1:15.5	sane sprees or on a cardo and do please enjoy responsibly. It's not so bad now but I've been to
1:21.7	this morning, hence the very red face for people on YouTube. And then I got into an ice-covered
1:29.1	cult room pool afterwards. I have no words. And I'm still red in the face, having plunged myself
1:34.8	into minus temperatures. I've got nothing to say to you. You're insane. Right, on with the show.
1:42.4	Hello and welcome to The Great Indoors. The podcast which reveals everything you ever need to
1:47.5	know about interiors and explains how to make it all really work for you in your home.
1:52.2	I'm Kate Watson, my. And I'm Sophie Robinson. And today we are very excited to be bringing you
1:59.5	an interview with Jules Haynes of the Haynes collection. Now Jules, well, she's a pioneer in saving
2:08.3	meters and meters of design fabric from landfill. So she's not only out to save the planet,
