Big new projects & other updates #24
mardi 27 août 2024 • Duration 43:08
Johanna and Malena are back from a summer podcast hiatus. But it's been a busy summer for both of them.
Malena has created several new patterns and samples for a new project that will be announced soon. And Johanna has (finally!) filmed her new jeans sewing course. Plus a new sewing pattern is in the works.
It will be a busy fall, so Johanna has decided to take (yet another) break from her day job.

Top tools for improving sewing #23
mardi 9 juillet 2024 • Duration 50:19
Sewing is tricky sometimes and we can all use a little help. Johanna and Malena talk about the tools that make tricky things easier, and save time too!
Plus Johanna has finally listened to Malena and purchased a life-saving "sewing" tool. But it took almost setting the sewing studio on fire before she came to her senses.
That said, Johanna does set something on fire during the episode, but it's all in the name of providing helpful sewing content!

Our struggles with marketing #7
mardi 19 mars 2024 • Duration 56:25
Marketing is the thing that both Malena and Johanna struggle with the most when it comes to running a business.
Malena wants to rely less on Instagram and is currently trying out new platforms.
Johanna is only comfortable with time-consuming, high-quality, content marketing, which incidentally is what stops her from doing any marketing at all.
We also address some legal and taxation complications regarding marketing. Things that not everyone in the sewing community might be aware of.
