HI I'M RADHA
I’m a textile artist, sustainability educator and small business strategist based in San Francisco. But don't worry, I balance all that serious stuff with a fair bit of silliness, and I share my work without judgement.
My unique expertise and passion for sustainability was fueled by a 15-year career in the apparel industry where I travelled the world, visited denim factories in China and Bangladesh, and unfortunately had a front seat to the rise of fast fashion. I used to create new jeans but now at Sewing through Fog I help keep those same jeans out of a landfill through classes and patterns to help you Quilt Your Jeans.
![A couple people asked about the pattern I used for my patchwork denim and wool coat. And oh, what a pattern it is š. Classic Burda, I got it at a fabric swap and I knew it would be great.
I made some minor adjustments with length and hem shape, made it quilted rather than lined and then bound all the seams.
On a side note, what is wrapped around that ladies ankles? Iām old enough to have pegged my jeans, but Iām not sure whatās happening there. I so badly want to recreate that entire outfit but I just donāt have time for those types of shenanigans right now.

![It was so chilly earlier this week, I almost thought maybe I need to make myself a warm, cozy jacket. And then I remembered Iāve already made myself multiple warm cozy jackets š
.
I definitely donāt work with wool enough. I love wool. Maybe I need to make a patchwork wool, leather and denim coat. The only issue is I donāt leave my house that often. Itās a conundrum. Because what else would I make out of wool, leather and denim? A quilted sweatshirt might be interesting. BRB going to make a sweatshirt. No! I canāt start any new projects until I finish my denim class Iām making.
