Ravon

In this penultimate episode of Season 1, I sit down with Ravon Clark from Luv, Lola. Throughout the conversation, we discuss her ever-evolving business and her designing process now that she has added patterns to her offerings. We also explore the challenges of balancing mental health with customer expectations, representation within the community, and touch on some sewing technical bits here and there. Come for the chat, stay for the vibes, and share in the laughs!

Erica-Lee Helgerson

For this 13th episode, I chat with Erica-Lee Helgerson of Lavender & Twine Patterns. Erica has established herself as an extremely respected bag designer and maker in our community, so I was so excited for the chance to pick her brain. She shares all about her design process, the intention and sentiment behind some aspects of her business, and some of her own personal struggles she's had over the last couple of years. Trigger warning: pet death and mental health struggles. * Erica's Linktree: linktr.ee/Erica.lavenderandtwine [http://linktr.ee/Erica.lavenderandtwine] * Shannon's Linktree: linktr.ee/knottedthreadsco [http://linktr.ee/knottedthreadsco]

Jess VanDenBurgh

In this episode of Splitting Seams, I sit down with Jess VanDenBurgh of Sew Many Creations. We had a great time chatting about Jess's journey and evolution of her business over the last two decades, the various dynamics of operating her business in our sewing community, and talk about the importance of authenticity both online and "irl". And, of course, I got to pick her brain about her designing process and what her time was like in the quilting world.
