But I definitely don’t need this.” Goldman has been a volunteer at The WasteShed and a planning committee member for DiscarDisco since 2022, and through the organization, launched her career as a designer and sewing instructor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6791904d51c518739f891cbd/d81d7b5d-dd0d-40e9-9fe8-2ee5bea6fe7f/Julia-Lowe_Final-Photo-Essay-05.jpg Photography - Sustainable Sewing: Blair Goldman and The WasteShed Goldman teaches a beginner sewing lesson at Hovet Fashion Studio, 2000 W Carroll Ave. in West Town.

Goldman says that “probably 70%” of her students are teenagers or young adults, with her youngest student having been 9 years old. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6791904d51c518739f891cbd/61e36a5a-9283-4114-a8a9-e541cc115954/Julia-Lowe_Final-Photo-Essay-07.jpg Photography - Sustainable Sewing: Blair Goldman and The WasteShed Salinas and Goldman laugh while Salinas sews along a straight line. Goldman has her beginner sewing students practice using the machine using “sewing squares” – squares of muslin that she draws lines and corners on in permanent marker for her students to follow with the sewing needle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6791904d51c518739f891cbd/041246d6-1370-4c00-bb89-f58120b1ba72/Julia-Lowe_Final-Photo-Essay-08.jpg Photography - Sustainable Sewing: Blair Goldman and The WasteShed Salinas practices guiding muslin under the needle to sew along a straight line, drawn by Goldman in permanent marker. Goldman is a self-taught sewist of 15 years whose designs have been worn by Lizzo and Dorian Electra – but she talks with the most excitement about being a teacher. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6791904d51c518739f891cbd/83d02a9f-aefd-4d3f-978d-2602e77291b4/Julia-Lowe_Final-Photo-Essay-09.jpg Photography - Sustainable Sewing: Blair Goldman and The WasteShed A pink velvet tomato-shaped pin cushion sits on a sewing table as Salinas practices pinning muslin to create a seam. In this beginner lesson, Golman taught her student how to thread a sewing machine, backstitch, sew straight lines and corners, sew a seam and create the shape of a bra cup – Salinas is an aspiring lingerie designer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6791904d51c518739f891cbd/7faff161-815d-4329-92ac-0d9bd5ddc575/Julia-Lowe_Final-Photo-Essay-10.jpg Photography - Sustainable Sewing: Blair Goldman and The WasteShed Goldman looks proudly at Salinas completing a sewing square on her own, without needing pointers – she compliments her student’s steadiness in sewing in a straight line. “The kids are gonna be alright,” says Goldman. “They're so eager to do things themselves, to understand how to hold capitalism responsible. They understand what sustainability means in fashion, even not having much experience.” https://www.julia-lowe.com/photography/as-seen-in-grid-magazine monthly 0.5 2025-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6791904d51c518739f891cbd/2b59e188-7469-4a21-928e-c421ccf30f2b/031025+Discovery+Ctr-01.jpg Photography -
