Ep 215 - Suta Biswas (Holistic Needlecraft)

For this episode I interview Suta Biswas, the London Ontario needlecraft artist behind Holistic Needlecraft. Today Suta gives us window into her creative process - from the great care she takes sourcing and upcycling high quality cotton fabrics from India, to her unique hand-stitched/patchworked method of creating truly one-of-a-kind, double sided jackets and throw blankets. Her artistic practice stretches all the way back to her grandmother sewing these blankets in India, and now Suta's own family are part of the practice, with her son even accompanying her to handmade markets as the Holistic Needlecraft Salesperson. Holistic Needlecraft embodies the principles of Slow Fashion and sustainability - It's truly special what Suta is creating, and when you hear her vision you'll be even more excited to support and track down these incredible textiles. You can follow her on facebook and Instagram @HolisticNeedlecraft and online at holisticneedlecraft.com Thank you Suta for connecting with us!
