Episode Details

This episode features the second half of our conversation with Clotheshorse all-star Salisha about kid’s clothing.  Today we’ll discuss all of the weird safety laws for kids clothing. We’ll be talking about cigarettes an awful lot for an episode about kids clothes.

But wait...there’s more! It’s Secondhand Month, so  we'll be talking to textile artist Rose Beerhorst of Brave Hand Textiles.  She’ll talk to us about how she turns the world’s most unwanted t-shirts into beautiful works of art...and so much more! As these Clotheshorse conversations tend to go!  Find Rose on Etsy here. And learn more about the quilts of Gee's Bend.
