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.

I don’t do a lot of live classes for a very simple reason: they are a ton of work. It’s 100% my fault - I just have certain expectations for myself and for the event (especially if it’s online). I want to make sure there is a real benefit for me and for the people participating.
That’s why I’ve never done a virtual quilting event before. And honestly had no plans to do one until BERNINA put me in touch with Creative Spark and I had a couple friends tell me they put on great events.
I also loved that the focus for the event was on creative choices that give a quilt its point of view and not just how to make your corners match. There are sessions on color, fabric selection, composition, raw-edge appliqué, stitch and texture, reimagined traditional piecing and more.
And of course I was happy they wanted to include sustainable quilting! My class will be a great intro to quilting with upcycled materials (not just denim!). I really made this one for quilters who want to go beyond quilting cotton but don’t know where to start. You don’t have to be ready to devote your life to repurposing jeans, you can just be a bit curious about how to start incorporating new materials into your quilts!](https://instagram.ftlv23-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.82787-15/843509612_18068268266785896_8129618540692408195_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=107&_nc_map=urlgen_bucketless&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiQ0FST1VTRUxfSVRFTS5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=DOookgPuExUQ7kNvwE9drTt&_nc_oc=Adrl3RiyCfFX9LOPBEY3UCDgYO5D0Bl4YUPP2l8h4ocbn1AAQkedayM38C-Sd3OXy-c&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=instagram.ftlv23-1.fna&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=9xWmyyIgSZkM9cUGSQhseQ&_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQIPJhv7m4gXjojfcTFC6SGnHyTOEGqbyFpoeyRUUxN39S9SDiDbfnU8pRypFE5dMJ37ZKE4_qu5&oh=00_AQNfjO3AqeQYQV1QROARZGS6qgf4l05ABkQ0dfuyV5hBwQ&oe=6AD1C7AA)
