In der heutigen Episode spreche ich mit der lieben Sarah van Draad vom gleichnahmigen YouTube-Kanal über ihr Label Art van Draad, wie es entstanden ist und welche Passion Sarah für English Paper Piecing hat. Wir schnacken auch über Ihre aktuelle Projekte und Planungen und das Schals von Stephen West ein Lachen und Fluchen lassen. Viel Spaß beim Hören! Steckbrief Name: Sarah van Draad Alter: 33 Ich komme aus: Teutoburger Wald Ich nähe/stricke seit: Nähen: (seit 2013) Alles begann in meiner kleinen Studentenbude auf 17 qm. Die Stoffe stapelten sich in allen Ecken, das Nähzubehör quoll aus jeder Schublade und nebenbei war immer Ina Fischers Stimme von Youtube Kanal Pattydoo zu hören. Durch Ina habe ich das Nähen gelernt. Meine Uni-Sachen habe ich im Kleiderschrank verstaut. Stricken: (seit 2015) Miit Ana Kraft auf Youtube gelernt. Mein erstes Projekt sollte ein einfaches Dreieckstuch werden. Ich hatte Alpaka-Seide und 6 mm KnitPro Nadeln gekauft und absolut keinen Plan, wie man so ein Tuch strickt. Es war am Ende dreieckig (im weitesten Sinne), aber das Abketten war viel zu stramm und das ganze Strickteil verzogen. Nach mehreren verzweifelten Schluchzern habe ich es weggetan und wenig später Ravelry entdeckt. Meine Nähmaschinen/Stricknadeln: Singer Tradition (R.I.P) und Pfaff Creative 1.5 (Näh- und Stickmaschine); KnitPro Symphonie (Wechselsystem); HiyaHiya (Wechselsystem); Chiaogoo (Wechselsystem) Hier findet Ihr mich: Instagram (@sarah_van_draad); https://www.instagram.com/sarah_van_draad/?hl=de Youtube Sarah van Draad ; https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZGYHdGa2kBloE9xLomUDrA/videos Etsy Art van Draad; https://www.etsy.com/de/shop/ArtvanDraad Fun-Fakt über mich: Ich kann die „Herr der Ringe“- Trilogie synchron mitsprechen. Shownotes Werbung, da wir über Sarahs Etsy Shop Ard van Draad sprechen, machen wir ja automisch Werbung. Sarah hat in ihrer Freizeit an meinem Podcast teilgenommen und auch ich habe keine Gegenleistung erhalten. Ich hoffe, dass trägt zur Transparenz bei. Aktuelle Projekte Sarah: Fantastitch Shawl - Stephen West Claudia: Easy Kristian Sweater von We are knitters, Version 2Reparaturen: Der Rücken vom Igel wurde verarztet, neues Gummiband in Laggins und ein Fischauge wurde verarztet ;) In Planung Sarah: Lounge Sweater - Clarissa SchellongTwists & Turns MKAL2022 - Stephen West Claudia: Vorbereitung für das 2.Göttinger Nähtreffen. Reh- und Löwenkissen von Mia BuntherzStapel an Ausbesserungen abarbeiten Neuzugänge Sarah:: karierte Flanell-Stoffe (Robert Kaufmann; Moda Fabrics)Plötolopi Wolle - Istex Claudia: Stickgarn in schwarz, Nähmaschinen-Nadeln und Druckknöpfe im Stoffladen Göttingen Thema des Monats: Art van Draad Sarah berichtet, dass die Idee für Art van Draad in ihr gewachsen sei, als in ihrem Lebens eine Art Unzufriedenheit gewachsen war. Sie wollte sich beweisen, dass sie etwas auf "der Kirsche" hat. Projekttaschen hat sie ja bereits für sich genäht und dann hat sie diese Idee ausgebaut. Mit der Idee der Verkaufes hat sich Sarah viele Gedanken gemacht. Sie hat neben den Taschen ihr Label selbst designt. ein süßes Schäfchen. Und Sie deutet an, dass mit diesem Schäfchen auch noch Dinge passieren werden. Ein weiteres alleinstellungsmerkmal ist, dass sie Taschen mit English Paper Piecing anbietet. Diese besondere Technik wird ausschließlich per Hand gefertigt, und macht Sarahs Taschen zu kleinen Kunstwerken. Ihre Materialien bezieht sie gern bei My Quilt Shop, Quiltwerkstatt und Snaply. Sie benötigt für eine Tasche, die mit English Paper Piecing gearbeitet ist cica 5-8 Stunden. Es gibt ein tolles MAking of zu Art van Draad hier zu sehen. Und in diesem Video spricht Sara auch von dem Druck der durch Social Media und einen eigenen Shop entsteht. Empfehlungen: Sarah: Dude Starts Quilting Schablonen für EPP Claudia: Instagram-Profil von @dieebookmacher Termine: Sarah: Das nächste Shopuptdate wird wahrscheinlich irgendwann am ersten oktober Wochenende sein.

Creativity whether it's music, craft or art has long been seen as having a positive impact on mental health, and after the year we have all experienced, it's something many of us have had to focus on. This week on Making Stitches, Emma Jones from Vintage Sewing Box speaks about the benefits of focusing the mind on stitching and how that simple repetitive activity can calm the mind. Emma also discusses her love of English Paper Piecing and hand embroidery and has a truly lovely tale about a quilt dedicated to the memory of her Gran.Also this week, as our thoughts turn towards Christmas, we hear from The Apex Singers about a special Christmas Concert they are hosting online. The young vocalist group, which is based in Manchester, launched its first album back in March just as the UK went into lockdown and is now looking forward to performing together for the first time since that launch. The singers want to share the experience with as many people as they can online.To find out more about Emma Jones' work please check out her website: Vintage Sewing BoxYou can find out about The Apex Singers here and you can buy tickets for their Christmas Concert 'Snowed in at Home' here.For full show notes for this episode, please visit the Making Stitches website.The music featured in this episode is Make You Smile by RGMusic from Melody Loops.Making Stitches Podcast is recorded and edited by Lindsay from Postcard from Gibraltar.

How does someone who started sewing for fun end up creating a business and an active sewing/crafting/quilting community by spreading joy & positivity? In my conversation with Mathew Boudreaux, we discuss what jump started his passion for sewing and crafting; how a background in business and communications prepared him for creating his business, Mister Domestic; and how a horrible phishing experience brought him to the realization of prioritizing his own authenticity to close the gap between Mathew & Mister Domestic.ABOUT MATHEW:Mathew Boudreaux of Mister Domestic learned to sew as a kid, but never really got into it until he had his daughter Helena, who is now seven and a half. He thought it would be a great way to connect with her if he could make her cool clothes. With a new motivation to up his attention-to-detail, the quality and coolness far exceeded even his own expectations. Once he started posting his projects on social media, the quilting world quickly took notice of his fearless use of color and print, incomprehensibly fast output, carefree enthusiasm and humor, and ability to seek out, acquire and share new skills. Making projects from fabric weaving to English Paper Piecing to apparel to the 3-dimensional, you can find his fabric party on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. As a fabric designer, get ready to bring this party into overdrive as he translates his chic, edgy, and whimsical style into an in person experience for everyone to enjoy. And as a community, Mister Domestic is a truly inclusive space, where all are welcome, unless your happiness is based on the oppression of someone.----------------GUEST LINKS:WEBSITE: Sign up & keep updated on his latest at Mister DomesticINSTAGRAM: @misterdomesticYOUTUBE: Mister Domestic ChannelFACEBOOK: Mister Domestic on FB--------------------Please Subscribe to That One (Blank) Friend on Apple Podcasts & Spotify and follow us on on Social MediaHOST: @saudiarashedSHOW: @thatoneblankfriendWEBSITE: SaudiaRashed.comFor guest inquiries email: thatoneblankfriend@gmail.com

On today’s episode of the Craft Industry Alliance podcast we're talking about blogging and writing a book with my guest, Florence Knapp. Florence is a quilter and dressmaker. For over a decade she has kept a blog, Flossie Teacakes, where she shares her adventures with a needle and thread and the life that goes on around her stitching. During this time she has designed sewing patterns and her work has been featured in various magazines, as well as in a book produced by the V&A Museum. Florence’s early years were spent in England and Australia, where her childhood homes were filled with vibrant color and intense pattern. As an adult, she found quiltmaking offered the perfect canvas on which to continue to embrace these things, as well as to indulge her love for small-scale precision work through fussy-cutting and English paper piecing. In May 2018 her first book, Flossie Teacakes’ Guide to English Paper Piecing, will be published. +++++ This episode is sponsored by Ettie & Marion. Ettie and Marion creates truly original fat quarters for the modern quilter.

Many are a more modern flair and you can use your scraps, prints, and solids to create warm and cozy presents.
