WSU student turns textile scraps into wearable art

PULLMAN — When Kiah Conway first walked into a Washington State University storage room filled with hundreds of pounds of fabrics, remnants, and scraps, a sense of overwhelming possibility hit her hard. That hasn’t changed, even nearly a year later. “Every time I go into that room, I see why some of it has sat there so long,” said Conway, a junior double majoring in apparel design and merchandising. “But sometimes I find something that’s so gorgeous, I’m shocked to see it. The more you dig, the better it gets. It feels like scavenging, but you can find gold in there.” Conway recently created two garments, a dress and a jacket, using almost nothing but leftover material from the storage closet. The closet is full of donated fabrics and remnants, sewing supplies, and scrap materials from different student design projects in WSU’s Department of Apparel, Merchandising, Design, and Textiles. The materials are kept so they don’t go into landfills.

THANKS

Reader thanks fund-raiser attendees

I wanted to thank so many people for the wonderful time I had once again performing in Moses Lake a few weeks ago. It was such a treat to have my whole band, Urban Blue, come out with me from Atlanta to perform at both Michael’s Market and Bistro as well as the Pillar Rock Grill. It was clear to us all the warmth and generosity of the entire community, and I’m proud to have played a part in raising so much money for the fight against cancer. In particular, I’d like to thank Steve Macke at Wells Fargo Insurance, Chris at Odom Distributing, and Troy at AmeriStay Inn & Suites for sponsoring us, Mike, Derek and Jordan Hamilton and everyone at Michael’s Market and Bistro, Jon McDowell and everyone at the Pillar Rock Grill, Dale Roth and KDRM, Don McGraw and Columbia Colstor, Cameron Rector and the Food Pavilion, Harlan Beagley and the Columbia Basin Herald, Donna Anderson, and Terry Moore — whose tireless efforts made it all possible. Finally, a special thanks to everyone who came out to one or both shows for you are what makes it all possible and worthwhile — fans of my music who are having a good time! Come to my Web site
