What are the unique challenges that designing zero waste sewing patterns for children throws up? And the ways in which it might actually be easier? In this episode, Liz Elliott, the designer behind Thread Faction Studio, gives us a fascinating insight into her business and processes. We also discuss navigating life when your role as a parent and as a business owner are entwined. Support the podcast over on Patreon! Find Liz's patterns on her website, Thread faction Studio, plus follow her on IG @threadfactionstudio. Sew 4 Bub was Liz´s first blog where you can still access some free patterns. Like every ZW pattern designer, Liz was inspired by The Zero Waste Fashion Design book by Holly McQuillan and Timo Rissanen. See the ZW pattern look book on Thread Faction Studio website. I've previously made the ZW Utility Jumpsuit pattern (my version) and the ZW Cap Sleeve Tee pattern (my version). Image source: Thread Faction Studio.

Listen to previous guest Alexis Bailey talk about her ZW pattern journey: Ep. #74: Recognition and Responsibility with Alexis Bailey I spoke about ZW sewing patterns on a reel made by Fabric Godmother in advance of a sewing class I taught that focused on Birgitta Helmersson's ZW Cropped Shirt pattern.

This 54 is the first of two featuring a conversation with Swedish-Australian designer Birgitta Helmersson. Known in the sewing community as a zero waste pattern designer, Birgitta also produces a range of ZW clothing which she sells from her shop/studio in Malmö. Prior to this, Birgitta had a diverse and convoluted career in fashion design, costume, alterations, pattern cutting and garment manufacture, which makes for a fascinating tale that we'll hear in this episode. We also learn what sparked her interest in ZW design, the route she took to adopting ZW practices in her own business, and why Birgitta transitioned into producing sewing patterns for her designs as well as physical garments.

In episode 268, Kestrel welcomes Venetia La Manna, to the show. The host of All The Small Things podcast and the co-founder of Remember Who Made Them, Venetia uses her platforms to challenge fashion brands who are costing the earth and calls out retailers on their unethical practices in the fashion supply chain. “Fashion brands are so willing to talk about organic cotton and to talk about their latest recycled range. There are two things that fashion brands refuse to commit to — the first is paying their garment makers a fair living wage, and the second is a drastic reduction in overall output. But these are the two things that would actually, truly change the industry.” -Venetia Here's a question I've posed on Instagram: Is it OK to buy fast fashion secondhand? I was watching Venetia's YouTube channel recently, and in one video, she talks about this question. She says:  “I think it's worth us interrogating – but I'm not sure it's worth us giving ourselves a hard time about.”  So, back to that question – is it OK to buy secondhand fast fashion? Out of curiosity, I did a poll on Instagram the other day, and 96% of the respondents said *Yes, it's ok to buy it*, with only 4% saying *No it's not OK*. On the show, Venetia and I do interrogate it a bit, along with other questions like – why aren't garment makers centered in the ways we talk about and act on changing fashion? And how can we creatively share intense information about the unfair fashion industry to welcome more people into the conversation? Quotes & links from the conversation: All The Small Things, Venetia's podcast “I think the thing that has driven that is that focusing more on the environmental impact of fashion lets the majority of brands off the hook and allows them to continue to produce at a rate that our planet can't sustain, let alone, the people creating our clothes and the people carrying our clothes at the end of the supply chain.” (22:48) “Fashion brands are willing to talk about sustainability and the environment if it means more money for them.” (24:55) “Fast fashion brands have literally hijacked the language of the slow fashion movement and incorporated it in their marketing campaigns.” (29:54) Munya Chawawa, content creator Venetia admires CC with Timo Rissanen (ep 47) about how creativity thrives with constraints The Or Foundation Follow Venetia on Instagram > Follow Remember Who Made Them on Instagram > This week's episode is brought to you by Tradlands, a small business focused on timeless style, slow fashion principles, and small-batch production. If you're interested in checking them out, you can use code CONSCIOUSCHATTER20 for 20% off. FYI — I don't receive commissions from this partnership.

What is Fast Fashion? Does social media impact our relationship to clothes? How can we stay trendy while consuming with care? In this episode, we explore all things Fast Fashion with Associate Prof. Timo Rissanen, who is a published author of two books on fashion and sustainability! We had the opportunity to learn more about the fast fashion model, solving the challenges of clothing manufacturing waste, the impacts of social media's 'trend' based culture, and how we can make small changes to move towards sustainable consumption. Further Resources: - Zero Waste Fashion Design (2016) - Written by Timo Rissanen & Holly McQuillan, explores the need for fashion designers to play an active role in minimising the waste produced by their practice. - Shaping Sustainable Fashion (2011) - Written by Timo Rissanen & Alison Gwitt, argues the need to incorporate 'future repair' as a central element of fashion design processes.

For this episode, #31, I got to speak to Liz Haywood, a very talented designer who creates zero waste sewing patterns. After a 20 year career in clothing production, and writing and self-publishing a book called The Dressmaker's Companion, Liz discovered ZW design and started making her own patterns using this approach. Two years ago, she committed to only producing patterns that are zero waste, and has been exploring and pushing the genre forwards ever since with her book Zero Waste Sewing and a range of standalone patterns. Excitingly, Liz has tackled the issue of grading and developed methods for producing an impressive range of sizes, and is now turning her attention to adding elements to help with fitting, two areas in which zero waste patterns have previously received criticism. We discuss all this and more, including her incredibly low levels of scrap generation and the only item Liz cannot foresee herself making a ZW pattern for. Support the podcast over on Patreon!

It's Episode 7 of the Check Your Thread podcast and this one was such a joy to record. You may recognise Riccardo as one of the finalists of season 5 of the Great British Sewing Bee. However, Riccardo Guido started boldly and fearlessly experimenting with reclaimed fabrics and innovative approaches to garment sewing long before Joe Lycett ever muttered the phrase ‘Transformation Challenge'. Right from the beginning, Riccardo has forged his own path to making his own wardrobe, including signing up to learn pattern cutting before taking a sewing class, and to this day he rarely uses commercial sewing patterns. In our delightful conversation, he tells me about his sewing history, which of the aforementioned transformation challenges was his least favourite, his future sewing goals and lots more.

If you love sewing and clothing, and care about the environment, well... then you'll like to hang out with Mariana from the get-go! Only 15 to 20% of what you donate in your local charity shop (or op-shop, as we call them Down Under) is purchased back, the rest is downgraded, shipped or goes to landfill. In this very first episode we start with concepts and terminology, and yet get practical right after that, because it is all about you having fun and create! In today's episode we talk about:  Terminology - refashioning, difference between recycling and upcycling, modern terms in the fashion industry and the expanding DIY sewing world and their meaning. Why you should be considering refashioning (as a sewing creative and caring for good material) 3 simple tips how you could start today. Very practical and down to earth. Because nothing is more powerful than the simplest actions you take one step at a time.   As a fashion graduate and sewing professional with several years bridal and alteration experience, Mariana Kirova, turned fashion upcycler herself, is passionate to help you feel the deep satisfaction of creating, making and wearing beautiful unique pieces of your own. At the end, the more people who can sew start upcycling clothing already in circulation - the less valuable textiles will end up on the landfill, right?

Vaateteollisuus on yksi eniten ympäristä kuormittavia teollisuusaloja. Pikamuodin ja halpavaatteiden tuotantoketju on kuin musta laatikko jonka syövereissä piilottelee ympäristörasitteen lisäksi epäinhimillinen työntekijöiden hyväksikäyttö. Ovatko esteettinen ja moraalinen muodin maailmassa täysin toisistaan irrallaan? Timo Rissanen on New Yorkin Parsonin designkoulun professori, taiteilija, tutkija ja suunnittelija. Rissanen on erikoistunut nk. zero waste -suunnitteluun, jonka ytimessä on ajatus suunnitella vaatteet niin että niiden tuotannossa ei synny hukkapaloja. Juuso Pekkinen keskustelee Rissasen kanssa utopioista vaatesuunnittelussa, muodin käsitteestä suhteessa massatuotantoon ja konsumerismiin, estetiikasta, moraalista, sekä siitä minkälainen vaateteollisuuden maailma olisi jos vaatteet olisivat lähes ikuisia. Kohtaamisia syvässä päässä. Juuso Pekkinen etsii suurempaa ymmärrystä ympäröivästä todellisuudesta. Hydraatiota intohimoiseen tiedonjanoon maanantaista keskiviikkoon kello kymmenestä yhteentoista.

In episode 127, Kestrel welcomes Saloni Shrestha, the cofounder + designer of Agaati, to the show. A womenswear brand that is committed to bringing accessible luxury to the industry, Agaati believes there is a way to fuse cultural traditions with today's fast-paced tech-driven world. "Designing with what is there at the moment is complicated. So using both the channels: preserving this art of weaving; at the same time, working with the eco-friendly mill-created textile is I think a good balance for our company." -Saloni Shrestha, Cofounder + Designer of Agaati In this episode, Saloni shares more on her background, and how she found herself leaving the corporate world and moving to New York to study fashion at Parsons. Saloni talks about how intentional her internship process was - she went into her experiences working with Oscar De La Renta, Diane Von Furstenberg, Zac Posen and Naeem Khan, with a larger goal in mind. For Saloni, it was about learning to understand the design process & the decision-making process, and to be present to admire and soak up all the beauty of creativity around her. Also, Saloni gets honest about the challenges of sourcing and developing sustainable materials, as well as finding clear answers behind fabrics. As she says, "I think what matters at this moment is there is an effort in the right direction." Kestrel asks Saloni about Slow Weave, the film that Agaati produced to tell the untold stories of artisan weavers in India. Saloni explains how weaving is becoming an endangered art form, and how important she believes it is to help support the weavers still doing it today.  The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: Timo Rissanen, taught the zero waste design course that Saloni took at Parsons, listen to our show with Timo here >  Matka Silk, a type of silk Agaati uses, which is made in India from waste mulberry silk yarn "I think what matters at this moment is there is an effort in the right direction." "[Handweaving] is becoming an endangered art in India." "Even though these weavers do not sit in beautiful offices or a very air conditioned room, the work that they do I think is no less than couture. So, that is kind of the parallel that we draw and we want to preserve this craftsmanship." RECOMMENDED MAGAZINE: Ethical Style Journal by Editor-In-Chief Katie Pruett

Timo Rissanen is Assistant Professor of Fashion Design and Sustainability at Parsons The New School for Design, New York. He’s an expert in zero-waste fashion design, as well as a cross-stitch artist currently stitching a letter to humanity to be read 100 years from now. Oh, and he's a birdwatcher… Timo teaches his students to rethink traditional ways of approaching design to consider the entire lifecycle of a garment, and factor in reducing waste from the outset. But it’s not just about cutting waste from initial design...Of approximately 80 billion garments produced every year, about 1/3 are sold full price, 1/3 on sale, and 1/3 are never sold. Much of this surplus is destroyed. In this Episode, Timo argues that we must conquer our cynicism and use our creativity to find solutions. The fashion industry, which he describes a ‘seemingly grotesque, wasteful, deadly’, is also a source of endless possibility. The WARDROBE CRISIS show notes unpack the issues addressed in each Episode.
