Episode 6: Slow Sewing
The process of making your own clothing takes time, patience, and care. And while it might seem overwhelming, it’s not as inaccessible as you might think! “The more people know what goes into a piece of clothing, the more people will stop undervaluing the cloth they put on their back.” So forget about fast-fashion! How about slow-sewing?
In this episode, “Slow-Sewing,” Isabelle Levine (designer and owner of the DIY fashion brand, Forest and Thread) tells a story about the garment-making process, the fashion industry, and the environmental impacts of clothing production and consumption.
All proceeds from this episode will be donated to FABSCRAP, a textile reuse and recycle non-profit run out of Brooklyn.
