When Micah Clasper-Torch first designed a coat using fabric which had been embellished with punch needlework, her passion was born. Moving from the intense world of fashion design in New York to a more laid back lifestyle in California, Micah embraced the craft of punch needle and ran with it. Her passion for the craft is infectious, so much so that she launched Punch Needle World, a platform to celebrate the art, craft and history of punch needle. Micah has taught thousands of people how to punch needle through online courses and has recently written a book about the craft sharing 15 designs merging fashion and punch needlework.In this episode you can hear Micah talk a little about the history of punch needle, how she is spreading her love of the craft and how she has merged her two passions of fashion and punch needle too.If you would like to find out more about Micah, you can find her website here and her Instagram account here.For full show notes for this episode, please visit this page on the Making Stitches Podcast website.To join the mailing list for the Making Stitches Newsletter, please click onto this linkThe theme music is Make You Smile by RGMusic from Melody Loops.The Making Stitches logo was designed by Neil Warburton at iamunknown.You can support Making Stitches Podcast with running costs through Ko-fi.Making Stitches  Podcast is supported by the Making Stitches Shop which offers Making Stitches Podcast merchandise for sale as well as Up the Garden Path crochet patterns created by me & illustrated by Emma Jackson.Making Stitches Podcast is presented, recorded and edited by Lindsay Weston.

In this episode, Marty and Shura sit down with Erin Deering - who went from building Triangl into a global phenomenon, to an attempted retirement in her 30s. She opens up about what really happens after the exit: the loss of identity, the aimless days, and the drive to feel useful again - and how that journey led to DEERING.They dive into the politics play she never saw coming, the rituals that keep her grounded, and why work is still the thing that lights her up - not just as a founder, but as a mother of four. Vulnerable, sharp, and unapologetically honest.

In this  episode of "Tell Me More," hosts Luke Stehr and Dr. Dennis R. Wiles delve into the intricate weave of spiritual transformation and virtuous living in "Designer Fashion." Drawing from Dr. Wiles' recent sermon, they explore the themes of human flourishing and the transformative power of character and virtue as researched in the Global Flourishing Study.The discussion seamlessly threads through the concept of Inaugurated Eschatology, where they examine how believers live at the intersection of 'This Present Evil Age' and 'The Age to Come.' Drawing inspiration from the Apostle Paul's teachings, they discuss how the transformation of our inner character is an anticipation of a promised future state, encouraging listeners to consider their virtuous living as the ultimate fashion statement.With Colossians 3:1-17 as their guiding text, Dr. Wiles illuminates the idea that God, as the original Fashion Designer, crafts us to outgrow the garments of our earthly nature, prompting a radical renewal. Together, they reflect on the spiritual wardrobe provided in Christ, urging believers to embrace their divine couture, crafted by the greatest designer of all.Tune in for a thought-provoking and heartwarming conversation that not only entertains but inspires personal reflection and growth.

In our last episode, Curious City question-asker Emily Porter sent us on a quest exploring the world of local fashion designers, all after she found a thrift shop sweater with a tag that reads: “Maria Rodriguez Chicago.” Who is Maria Rodriguez? How did she get into the industry? And what is it like to be a fashion designer in Chicago? To answer those questions, we take a trip to the basement of the Chicago History Museum, where collection manager Jessica Pushor has archived several Maria Rodriguez ensembles and a case file of news clippings, photos and look books. We also stopped by El Nuevo Mexicano, a Mexican restaurant in Lakeview that Rodriguez now owns and operates, to get the story from the fashion designer herself.

Where culture meets conversation. From the latest in music and sports to unfiltered takes on current events, we keep it real, raw, and relevant. Hosted by voices that know the game, this is more than just a podcast—it's a lifestyle. Tune in, tap in, and stay heavy on the wrist.

A question about a sweater in a thrift store turns into a search for a prominent Chicago designer of the 1980s. Along the way, we discover the city's golden age of fashion designers.

The Stories – “The model to succeed is tough unless you are backed by a conglomerate, or LVMH.” “The place that was smaller, at that point, was Michael Kors. I interned there for two years. It was a dream. Michael Kors showed me how to be a boss – he was nice, kind, funny, and personable.” “My mother would require us to make dinner one night a week so we could learn some basic cooking.” “I wanted every recipe to have a photo. When I look at a cookbook and there's no photo representing a recipe, not only do I not know what that recipe's supposed to look like, I also feel like, this author must not think this is an important recipe.”The Backstory – “I sat at family dinner one night, when I was in the fifth grade, and made the announcement that I wanted to be a fashion designer.” “In 2006 I was working with two different design teams. It was crazy busy; I was fully in the mix. It was full minestrone!” “Cooking was something I'd been doing the whole time. When I was a fashion designer, I was always coming home and cooking, having dinner parties… it was something that kept my feet on the ground in what can be a crazy industry at times.”Wisdom Rains – “All the focus that began for me in the fifth grade, had turned into blinders. Then I allowed myself to have another dream.” “There's a point when you're on the diving board and you need to take that leap of faith, and know that hard work and some level of talent will yield a soft landing. Once you start doing something, your heart catches up with your mind.” “It's almost like the protein is the Little Black Dress. Now how do you accessorize it?"On Inspo – “Growing up in the Bay Area in San Francisco, in the 70's and 80's, it was a really amazing time for creativity and for self-expression, and I felt like I was in the right place at the right time.”On Tommy Hilfiger---“Tommy, as a person himself, was an amazing mentor, in terms of him really seeing that I had the potential.”On recipes and putting together his cookbook, Family Style – “I would wake up at 7, 8 in the morning and get to recipe testing.
