Over the years, we've been honored to host iconic figures like Kaffe Fassett and Brandon Mably, who revealed how color can be a life-changing force, and Tula Pink, who welcomed us into her imaginative, boundary-pushing world. We heard from Alex Anderson, who reminded us of the importance of claiming space for our creativity, and Amanda Murphy, who inspired us to stretch the boundaries of traditional quilting. This journey has introduced us to countless other inspiring voices: astronaut Dr. Karen Nyberg, who shared her love for quilting in space; Michael Thorpe, whose bold textile art challenges conventions; and the incomparable Gee's Bend Quilters, represented by Mary Margaret Pettway, whose work connects us to a rich heritage of storytelling through fabric. We've also learned from quilting luminary Ricky Tims, who shared his unique blend of music and quilting, costume designer Justine Seymore and Julian Collins, who creates fashion with purpose. Mimi G brought her vibrant energy and DIY spirit, while Deanna Springer reminded us of the enduring legacy of Nancy Zieman and the Great Wisconsin Quilt Show. We've brought you behind the scenes at Quilt Week in Paducah, BERNINA university, C2E2, QuiltCon, The Sewing and Stitching Expo, Houston Festival, The Great Wisconsin Quilt Show and The National Quilt Museum.  And our guest list goes on: Gail Yellen with her expert sewing techniques, sustainable designer Tristan Detweiler, creative advocate Kristina Wong, and reality star Craig Conover from Southern Charm who we accompanied to North Charleston High School as he donated BERNINA sewing machines to their maker space. We've heard from visionaries like Jean Wright from Sew Sisters, Amanda Richie from Unshattered and fabric artist Cookie Washington, each of whom has left an unforgettable mark on our community. As we reflect on these first 100 episodes, we are profoundly grateful to each guest who has shared their time, talent, and insights, and to each of you who have been with us on this journey.  So now, let's celebrate by taking you back to February 18, 2021, to where it all began with a replay of our very first episode featuring the incredible Bisa Butler. Here is Sew & So episode #1… This podcast explores Bisa Butler's fascinating journey, which began with her getting a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting at Howard University. Realizing painting was not her passion, she went on to Montclair University to pursue a Master in Teaching. It was there, while making a quilt in her first-ever fibers class, that she had an artistic epiphany; she realized she could do what she loved, express her creativity in a way that moved her deeply, and tell the countless untold stories of African Americans.  Each pivotal step in her journey is described in fascinating detail. She talks about learning to sew from her grandmother; a black woman, and wife of an Emissary, who found herself transported to Morocco. She and her husband had to attend many formal events, and since they couldn't afford to buy the refined clothing, one was required to wear, her grandmother would pore through fashion magazines and create replicas of designer outfits. The scraps of fibers and fabrics from those outfits can be seen in Bisa's portraits of her grandmother and grandfather. She explains how using little bits of their lives helped inform her work. Butler describes her work as “excavating the soul, where her own spirit has a conversation with someone who has long passed. The process begins with a portrait. By gazing into the eyes of her subject and really looking at the lines, creases, scars and the expression in their eyes, she can ‘hear' their unspoken story. She spoke of the improvisational nature of private quilts and their ability to tell the personal experiences of her people (21:20 – 24:21). As she details her journey through galleries and museums, Butler recounts the bias that was shown towards artists who use cloth in their art. But through all the rejections and dismissals, she kept at it, slow and steady, until her work exhibited at a New York gallery. After that, her work began getting accepted at more galleries and museums. Her fiber and fabric creation, The Storm, the Whirlwind, and the Earthquake features a life‐sized representation of abolitionist and social reformer Fredrick Douglass whose magnetic gaze pulled her in. This piece is a powerful example of how Butler's painterly textiles convey a sense of shared humanity were on exhibit at the Toledo Museum of Art. Her textile creations were exhibited in the European Painting Gallery Space at the Art Institute of Chicago in 2021. This is the first time a living artist has been showcased in this space. Her work iwasalso featured in Dress Up, Speak Up: Regalia and Resistance at the 21C Museum Hotel in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was a joy to learn about the strides fiber, fabric and quilting artists have made, and we owe much of it to Bisa Butler. Her personal story of using textiles and the medium of quilting to celebrate her heritage and her community and her powerful art is a great inspiration to us all. This is one story you don't want to miss, so make sure you catch the podcast. You can learn more about Bisa Butler and view some of her amazing works of art at Bisabutler.com If you know someone you think has an outstanding story – a story that should be shared on this podcast, please drop me a note to meg@sew&sewpodcast.com  or complete the form on this website. Be sure to subscribe to, review and rate this podcast on your favorite platform.

We're practicing our all-Black artistry.” – Julian Collins, Stitch Please, Episode #188On why they took the time to put on some sequins and design costumes for Beyonce's tour: “Renaissance is everything LGBTQ+, really celebrating us–specifically the Black people and people of color within that culture–so it's really important for us to show up because this whole Renaissance is for us. It's our songs, it's our music, it's our dances. It's the voguing, it's the fans, it's the handclaps. It's everything.” – Terrance Williams, Stitch Please, Episode #188“The LGBTQIA+ community has such a huge influence on my style personally, and I thought I was going to show up to a ball. I wanted that experience for myself, so I'm like, ‘No, you gotta show up and show out!'” – Carmen Green, Stitch Please, Episode #188“I love this idea that ballroom culture is something that is specific to Black queer, Black trans folks, and that as Black cis-identified folks [like Carmen and I] we are being invited to respect that space, and you do that by being courteous and mindful. The way that we tend to do that is to honor the looks that are so spectacular and so generative. This is an occasion, so you will dress for the occasion.” – Lisa Woolfork, Stitch Please, Episode #188“Don't be afraid to be yourself! Step out of your comfort zone, do something a little out of the ordinary!” – Terrance Williams, Stitch Please, Episode #188“If no other time but now, you have been given the permission to be extra, so be extra! Have fun! Concentrate yourself down to an essence and show up. We are in the summer of acceptance of ourselves.” – Julian Collins, Stitch Please, Episode #188 Resources Mentioned:Black Sewing NetworkCarmen at Beyonce's Renaissance Tour in ParisThe group's Beyonce costume designs Stay Connected:YouTube: Black Women StitchInstagram: Black Women StitchFacebook: Stitch Please Podcast Lisa WoolforkInstagram: Lisa WoolforkTwitter: Lisa Woolfork Julian CollinsWebsite: Julian CreatesInstagram: juliancollinsTikTok: juliancreatesFacebook: Julian CreatesYouTube: Julian Creates Carmen GreenInstagram: cagreinventedTikTok: cagthemagFacebook: CAGReinventedBlogAmazon Store: Carmen Green Terrance WilliamsWebsite: Terrance Williams DesignsInstagram: terrancewilliamsdesignsTwitter: terrancedesignsTikTok: terrancewilliamsdesignsFacebook: Terrance Williams DesignsYouTube: Terrance Williams DesignsPinterest: terrancewilliamsdesigns Subscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Stitcher, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify. This episode was produced and managed by Podcast Laundry.

Clothes made from wool were a staple in our wardrobes decades ago. But as the material is used in new and innovative ways, will it find a new place in our lives?

Clothes made from wool were a staple in our wardrobes decades ago. But as the material is used in new and innovative ways, will it find a new place in our lives?

This fascinating podcast features the individual and shared journeys of two exceptionally talented sewists who learned to sew through watching videos, reading, and attending “YouTube University.” Both love bold fabrics and prints that echo their heritage. Both create from the heart. With roots in Ghana, South Africa, Monica was born and raised in New York City and currently lives in Dallas, Texas.  She took up sewing on the tenth Mother's Day after her mother's death as a way to feel more connected to her. Although her mother was an avid sewist, Monica never thought she'd be bitten by the sewing bug.  Her passion for fashion proved otherwise. She's the founder of Project Sew, an in-person, all-day sewing meetup inspired by Project Runway. She's also the host of a monthly sew-along on Instagram called, Sew your View. Julian's passion for sewing is also on full display. A public health worker in Cincinnati, Ohio he brings joy to the world through his colorful menswear creations.  His work has been featured in numerous publications, including Sewn Magazine and Sew News. Julian is a BERNINA® Ambassador and a Laurastar Ambassador.  When he's not sewing, he loves connecting with people throughout the sewing community. His Facebook group Sew Manly addresses men's inclusion in the sewing space,  including sis gender and transgender.  Although he's done a little bit of everything, Julian loves to focus on classic menswear with a bold take of fabrics and prints—especially Ankara fabrics and other African textiles.  With her strong roots in Africa, Monica is also drawn to its bold and vibrant prints. She started out creating long cascading dresses and what she refers to as “fun glam.” Today, she's focused on creating women's fashion and resort-style wear. Their shared affinity for Ankara fabrics and other African textiles isn't the only thing Monica and Julian have in common.  (4:46 – 6:20)Monica shares how the death of George Floyd made her realize the need for action. She put together a Zoom call of black makers in a show of solidarity. They shared their own stories and discussed ways they could highlight the voices and talents of black makers and ensure they got credit for their creations. Monica and Julian marvel at how a three-hour call ended up becoming a full-blown coalition with a mission to bring about cultural transformation in the sewing and crafting industry.  As a result of their work, change is starting to occur. Machine companies, like BERNINA and Janome, are open to having discussions on building diversity. Craft and fabric stores are beginning to show different genders, body shapes, and ethnicities in their advertising. Thousands of creators are joining the movement and using their energy to create a crafting world that is inclusive of all people, all races, all nationalities, all bodies, and all genders.  (13:49- 19:31)  In their words, “This is a movement, not a moment.” Companies looking for makers that are willing to go out and speak or get involved in other ways can visit blkmakersmatter@gmail.com or they can go to the @blkmakersmatter Instagram page, where there's a link to a makers' list of allies and businesses who support the initiative.  (24:50-25:50)During the conversation, Monica and Julian explore what it means to truly be an ally; how it's getting involved in the work, having a conversation with your circle of influence, building connections, and working for social justice. In their words, “This is a movement, not a moment.” Each person needs to realize that there are multiple roads in this journey, not everyone is on the same road, and that we all need to be respectful of that. Even in our discomfort, we all need to move together in unity.  To really appreciate the depth and breadth of the commitment and passion of these two amazing artists and activists, you need to tune in and catch this casual conversation. To learn more or to reach out to Monica and/or Julian, go to: blkmakersmatter@gmail.com  To connect with Monica, visit Monica@Thatsewmonica.com, Thatssewmonica at YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Etsy To connect with Julian, go to Julian Creates on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube, and “Sew Manly” on Facebook
