Welcome back to The Sustainable Business Spotlight with Amy Auble! Living more sustainably is a passion of mine and recently, I’ve been eager to learn more about zero waste sewing. That’s why I’m particularly excited about today’s episode as I have the pleasure of chatting with Liz McDade, the founder of No Trace. Liz launched No Trace in 2017 to promote sustainable crafting and eco-friendly living. Through her platform, she offers zero-waste sewing patterns, lifestyle tips, and tutorials for low-waste living. She also shares her expertise on her popular YouTube channel, NoTraceShop, where she provides engaging tutorials on sewing, mending, and upcycling projects.
Living sustainably doesn’t always require major changes. Often, it begins with small, intentional steps. Individuals like Liz are leading the way by demonstrating how simple adjustments can make an impact. Join us as Liz and I explore zero waste sewing and its role in promoting a more sustainable lifestyle. Let’s dive in!
