HOW TO GET FABRIC MOVING with Reuse Shop-Owner Kathryn Swanson

 

Kathryn on the morning we recorded

Kathryn Greenwood Swanson is the owner of Swanson’s Fabric and purveyor of secondhand fabrics to those who can put them to good use. In this conversation, we discuss:

  • the role of the communal stashhouse in a community of fiber artists

  • the shame so often associated with our fabric stashes

  • and how to start your own secondhand fabric store like Swanson’s Fabrics

You can also watch that episode of Good Morning America from 1999 that Kathryn appeared on here. It’s incredible to see just what a powerhouse Kathryn already was at 15 🙆‍♂️

You can learn more about Kathryn and Swanson’s Fabrics on instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
