#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #faith #goodsoil In Matthew 13, Jesus begins to speak in parables about the sower and the different types of soil. This theme connects back to the garden motif that runs throughout scripture. What distinguishes the sower from the seed? Who is granted the understanding of the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven through these parables?

On this episode of Stitch Please, Lisa tackles the sewing struggle nobody talks about enough: being stuck in the “intermediate” stage. You're past beginner mistakes, but not quite sewing couture gowns in your sleep either.From confusing pattern labels to Reddit fueled sewing anxiety, Lisa breaks down why intermediate is less of a skill level and more of a messy, creative in between space. The takeaway? Keep practicing, trust your progress, and maybe… read the pattern instructions before complaining.=====Hosted By: Dr. Lisa WoolforkSenior Producer: Krystal HillProducer: Mike Bryant===============Dr. Lisa Woolfork is an associate professor of English specializing in African American literature and culture.

Can a needle and thread mend more than fabric? Ceramic artist Leah Jensen joins Grant Gibson to discuss the radical pivot in her practice after a brain cancer diagnosis — and how stitching became a daily act of survival, documentation and repair.In this episode, we explore making as medicine and the quiet power of slow, analogue craft. We discuss:Renaissance Patterns: The unexpected art-historical roots of Leah's intricate, geometric ceramic surfaces.'Anti-Digital' Making: Why she rejects screens and software in favour of the hand, the eye, and the hour-long stitch.The Brain Tumour Book: How embroidery became a diary of diagnosis, surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy — exhibited this April at London's Fitzrovia Chapel with Cavaliero Finn.'Sewing is an act of emotional repair': Using thread — and her own hair — to process trauma, memory loss and identity.Return to Clay: Re-entering the ceramic studio after illness, and how the two mediums now speak to each other.Leah also reflects on collapsing behind a bar in the moment that changed everything, the role of her parents and partner in her recovery, and what making has taught her about being present.You can support The Brain Tumour Charity via the Brain Tumour Book fundraising page: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/braintumourbookcharityfundraisingexhibitionExplore more: Visit materialmatters.design for more on our fairs and conferences.Support the show

In this episode of Sew & So, we're stepping into a powerful intersection of storytelling and sewing with filmmaker and artist Valerie Soe. Valerie is a fourth-generation Chinese American, born and raised in San Francisco, and like so many, her sewing journey started with a single machine—a 1970s Kenmore she still uses today. What began as a practical skill in high school, and later as a way to sew for her family, became something she would return to in a moment when it mattered most. As an award-winning filmmaker and professor of Asian American Studies, Valerie has built her career around telling stories that reflect identity, memory, and community—stories she didn't often see growing up. And in early 2020, when the world slowed down and uncertainty set in, she found herself both living and documenting one of those stories in real time. Through a simple call to action, the Auntie Sewing Squad came together—hundreds of volunteers sewing masks for people who needed them, at a time when supplies were scarce and fear was high. Valerie was part of that effort, sewing alongside others while also capturing the experience as a filmmaker. Her newest documentary, The Auntie Sewing Squad Resistance Playbook, revisits that moment—what it felt like, what was created, and what it meant to come together in a time of crisis. Many of you may remember our earlier conversation with Kristina Wong. (Episode 75) Today, we return to that story through Valerie's lens, with a deeper look at the impact of that movement. This is a conversation about sewing as something more—more than a skill, more than a craft—but a way to connect, to respond, and to care for others when it matters most. (3:25) Valerie talks about her first sewing machine – a 1970's Kenmore – and the beginning of her sewing adventures (4:53) What first drew Valerie to film and telling stories? (5:34) How did she become involved with The Auntie Sewing Squad? (7:00) How did she decide that the first film needed to be made? (8:12) And the second film…why this one? (9:05) Valerie talks about Kristina Wong (11:14) Valerie was both film producer and Sewing Squad participant. How did this affect the film? (12:45) This film was made during the time when Asian Americans were in danger. What was this like for her? (14:00) What were the most unexpected and powerful moments for her in the film? (15:25) How did the Auntie Sewing Squad serve the Navajo Nation and what affect did this have? (16:48) Valerie talks about the tiny details of the film where sewing was a practical tool rooted in community care (18:05) What does Valerie hope people will take away from the film? (20:30) What's next for her and what's her dream? (21:25) She takes us behind the scenes and explains the mechanics of making an independent film. (23:17) Want to see the film? Go to The Auntie Sewing Squad Resistance Playbook.com (23:36) Anything we didn't ask? (24:10) Find Valerie at ValerieSoe.com and let her know you heard her on this podcast!

This is not a medical episode — it's an episode born from care. When Sheila's daughter was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, sewing became one of the ways she could offer comfort and dignity during treatment. In this episode, Sheila of SheilaLovesFabric on Instagram, talks about what she discovered: the garments that helped, the adjustments that mattered, the fabrics she used, and the things she would have loved to have known about earlier. Sheila's hope is that these insights will support others who are sewing for someone navigating cancer treatment, or that you might share this episode with someone who needs it.

Libraries are sacred, public spaces that are typically quiet. But, every other Tuesday at Milwaukee's Washington Park Library, you'll hear the hum of a sewing machine and conversations about seams. It's a recurring event they call “Mind Your Mending” — a place where anyone can get simple clothing fixes done for free.Washington Park resident Carol Lee Hopkins helped launch the clinic in January, volunteering her time for small things like patching holes, stitching and repairing the occasional zipper.“I make a lot of things for myself and my family,” Hopkins said. “But I like helping people, and I think it's really important right now with this crazy, difficult world we're living in where there's a lot of meanness. I can do something kind.”To find the next “Mind Your Mending” clothes repair clinic, visit the Milwaukee Public Library's event page.#####Host: Kim ShineUniquely Milwaukee is made possible by the generous support of our members.

Yasmin Proctor-Kent likens sewing to science. “I find them really hard to separate them in my brain. I don't think I can sew without engaging the same part of my brain that I do science with,” she says. For Proctor-Kent, a research and development scientist at the cancer diagnostics company Leica Biosystems, based in Melbourne, Australia, the two pursuits require similar approaches, relying on her own and others' prior knowledge and expertise, reading papers, or reading from other people who have sewn a similar garment. “It's about applying theoretical knowledge to something tactile, something practical that you're doing,” she adds. In the second episode of a six-part podcast series about creativity in science, Proctor-Kent recounts how she honed her sewing skills during the Covid-19 lockdown before applying to The Great British Sewing Bee, an annual TV competition, reaching the 2025 finals. Kit, a semi-finalist and mathematician, was similarly creative. “Mathematics and spatial reasoning and 3D plotting and all of that mathematical brain that Kit has, really did apply to the Bee,” she says. “When we were given a sewing pattern and told to make it in two hours…Kit already knew exactly how every single pattern piece fit together.” Finally, Proctor-Kent urges other scientists to take up a pastime, even if it feels risky. “You get to a point in your career where you have success…you have a fear of being bad, at trying something new. We should all sit in that fear. Allow ourselves to be wrong. Allow ourselves to be bad at stuff. Allow ourselves to be embarrassed.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

4. George Fox: The Rise of an Ambitious Merchant Tailor George Fox exemplifies the entrepreneurial ambition inherent in many Irish immigrants. Trained as a tailor, he initially earned a pittance sewing for major retailers but eventually opened his own shop on Broadway. Fox became a master of self-promotion, advertising extensively and providing free, high-quality clothing to President Millard Fillmore and prominent senators to build his reputation. This transition from journeyman to master was a primary goal for many skilled Irish artisans. Since New York was rapidly expanding, carpenters, masons, and tailors were rarely out of work, allowing them to accumulate savings and provide social mobility for their children. 41880 ACHILL

Send us feedback about this episode!In this episode, we break down color theory into a practical, no-fluff guide specifically for sewing projects. Instead of getting lost in abstract design concepts, we focus on how real fabric choices come together in quilts, garments, and handmade wardrobes. You'll learn how to build a cohesive fabric palette from a single “hero” print and avoid the most common mistake sewists make—ignoring value and contrast. If you've ever brought home beautiful fabrics that somehow didn't work together once you started sewing, this episode will help you fix that—so your next project feels intentional, cohesive, and confidently designed from the start.Show notes for each episode: www.thestraightstitchpodcast.comMy website: www.janetszabo.comSee my sewing projects at: www.janetszabo.com/blogE-mail me!  janet@janetszabo.com

Rachel Bristow has been married to her husband, Victor, for 16 years, and together they share a large and close-knit family of 11 children and 13 grandchildren. She has owned her business, Creative Cousins Sewing for 12 years, transitioning to full-time drapery work over the past two years. Sewing is deeply rooted in her background—she comes from a long line of skilled seamstresses. Her mother, a gifted bridal specialist, had an exceptional talent for altering any type of garment. After becoming a widow, she learned tailoring from her mother as a way to support her six children. That experience marked the beginning of her professional journey, laying the foundation for the work she continues today.

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above.Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.A puppet rock opera returnsAzure Anderson of St. Paul is an artist, musician, and podcaster, and she's a huge fan of Phantom Chorus Theatre. They are re-mounting the founders' 2019 production of “Razia's Shadow,” a puppet rock opera. The production contains 12 songs by Forgive Durden, performed live, with a new cast of puppet characters ranging in size from two to eight feet.The show runs April 10–25 at the Hive Collaborative in St. Paul. In-person and live-streamed tickets are available. While not designed as a children's show, Anderson says the show is recommended for ages six and older due to a few spooky elements; if your child enjoys Tim Burton's film “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” this show should be a good fit.Having seen all Phantom Chorus's productions for the past three years, Anderson raves about them.Azure says: “The visuals are always incredible. The music's always incredible. And the technical aspect never misses.— Azure AndersonSewing and style at Twin Cities FrocktailsFor Hannah Olanrewaju of St. Paul, sewing means community. She's looking forward to Twin Cities Frocktails, an evening event where attendees are invited (though not required) to wear clothes they made themselves. This year's theme is “Making Through the Decades.” Frocktails takes place 6 to 10 p.m., Saturday, April 11 at Steady Pour in Minneapolis.Hannah describes the vibe of the first Frocktails in 2024.Hannah says: There's something so uniquely wonderful about being in a room with people who've made at least one part of their outfit and can really speak the same language as you do. And so, I remember walking around with my bingo sheet and getting to know people and where they're from. They're asking you about your outfit, and you're asking them about their outfit. And so by the end of the night, you're saying goodbye to all these people that you've really never met before, but now, you're finding ways to keep in touch. I think that's something that's so beautiful about Frocktails and about sewing, specifically, that I don't think I've been able to find anywhere else.— Hannah OlanrewajuPoetry and community in RochesterJohn Sievers is a trombonist from Rochester, but tonight, he's looking forward to an event that celebrates poetry. The Southeastern Minnesota Poets will hold their next Bright Lights Poetry Night tonight at 6:30 p.m. at the historic Chateau Theatre. The theme of tonight's reading is “Emergence.”John says: This event is really a community event that is encouraging people to come together as people who are interested in language and words and poetry. And I just love the fact that I can hear people from my community sharing their deep thoughts about important themes in today's society.— John Sievers

International Women's SeriesLee Evans Lee is the founder and designer of Mrs. Mama Bear, a women's fashion brand that blends performance, comfort, and modern style. Think dresses, suits, and jumpsuits made from performance fabric. Function and fashion in one. Built for women who refuse to choose between how they feel and how they look.Lee grew up on a ranch in West Texas. She was riding the fence line alone by age 10, figuring it out as she went. That's where she learned to handle fear. To move through it. To know that no matter what happened, she was going to be alright.Her path wasn't linear. Pre-med, then TV production, then healthcare. Art school at night. Sewing school. She wondered if she was a flake. Looking back, every pivot was preparing her for what came next.The idea for Mrs. Mama Bear came from her own closet. She was tired of changing clothes five times a day. She wanted function, comfort, and style in one. It didn't exist. So she started drawing.Here's the part that gave me chills. She kept it secret for a year. Didn't tell anyone. Just drew at night, let it bake. She called it sacred. No opinions, positive or negative. Just her and the work. Counterintuitive to everything we're taught. But she knew it needed time to become solid enough to face the world.Now she's partnering with the Spurs and launching a sports line. The ranch is still there. She still goes back to listen to the hummingbirds.Her advice: don't be afraid to hold your dream close while it's forming.Connect with Lee:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leeevanslee/Shop Now: http://mrsmommabear.comTHE RE:INVENTION EXCHANGE - for more Inspired Content, Blogs, Podcasts, RE:INVENTION Virtual Chats, or to buy a copy of my book RE:INVENT YOUR LIFE!

How does a brand evolve from sewing wallets in a basement to raising millions on Kickstarter? In this episode of Retail War Games, Jeremy sits down with Jacob Durham, co-founder of Nomatic, to deconstruct the journey of one of the most successful travel gear brands in the world. Jacob shares the strategy behind positioning Nomatic in the top 1% of crowdfunded projects by prioritizing high-function gear that removes friction for people on the move. The conversation explores the critical shift from a startup to a global operation, managing retail partnerships and a complex expansion into apparel. Jacob offers raw insights into why the digital advertising tactics of 2014 no longer apply and how "Innovation over Transaction"—including their massive partnership with Peter McKinnon—became the brand's rocket ship. Whether you are validating a product or scaling a company, this is a masterclass in design, operational resilience, and the entrepreneurial spirit.
