From fast fashion to sustainable stitching
Our guest speaker will be Radha Weaver whose presentation follows the journey from the fashion world to the world of upcycled and denim quilts, from creative reuse centers to QuiltCon.
Radha Weaver is sustainability educator and quilter based in San Francisco. Her upcycled denim quilts have been seen in Quilting Arts and Fibert Art Now magazines and at QuiltCon. Her unique expertise and passion for sustainability and specifically upcycling denim was fueled by a 15-year career in the apparel and textile industry where she had a front seat to the rise of fast fashion. She used to create products for Levi’s and was responsible for getting millions of pairs of jeans out into the world. Now she helps keep those same jeans out of a landfill by teaching quilters and sewists to create with upcycled materials.
Radha can be found online as Sewing through Fog where sustainability is approached with humor and delight, and no one is shamed for buying new fabric.
