Kirstie McLeod - The Red Dress [NX 112]

In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Kirstie McLeod.

Kirstie is a textile artist whose career has spanned performance installations, couture wedding dresses, and large-scale garments that test the limits of fabric and endurance. In 2009 Kirstie launched The Red Dress embroidery project, something that has become far greater than anyone could have anticipated.
