She then briefly ran her own stationery business and took a few detours through business operations, human resources, and consulting before becoming a full-time working artist (again).

Her second book,  This Long Thread: Women of Color on Craft, Community, and Connection, was published by Roost Books in November 2021.

So, I design primarily fabric and I have been doing that since 2018. I am on my third or fourth fabric collection at this point” —Jen Hewett in “Stitch Please”“I have done a lot of textile art and didn't call myself a textile artist. I always say I am a printmaker first and everything flows from that, but I am owning it now, that I am a person who does and likes many things” —Jen Hewett in “Stitch Please”“With printmaking, you do one thing and you do it over and over again, unlike being a painter who does a one-of-a-kind one thing. A printmaker is already set up operationally, it makes sense to do the same thing over and over again” —Jen Hewett in “Stitch Please”“What's the saying like ‘walk around with the confidence of a white man and you will get what you want'?” –Nicole Angeline  in “Stitch Please”“The nice thing about the work that I do is that it is replicable. So it feels in many ways, low stakes. That I am constantly putting things out there, some will stick, some won't” —Jen Hewett in “Stitch Please”“When I find books like this one, that are good and I like them, and I like to go back to them, because not every book you get that you are gonna go back to, but this one is nice and it's very digestible” —Ada Chen in “Stitch Please”“The overall consensus seems to be celebratory and gratitude, if I can put it in two words. Folks who are celebrating that this book exists and that women of color are having their voices centred and amplified, and talking to a variety of people. And then the gratitude which extends towards you for creating and pulling this together” —Lisa Woolfork in “Stitch Please”“I wanted it to be representative. Not necessarily everybody because that's impossible, but to include people who are not included” —Jen Hewett in “Stitch Please”“In many ways, writing this book didn't feel like a race because I had this really strong sense that the community would have my back. But then I had to do everybody's story's justice in order for people to have my back”  —Jen Hewett in “Stitch Please” Resources MentionedAsian Sewist Collective Stay Connected:Lisa WoolforkInstagram: Lisa WoolforkTwitter: Lisa Woolfork Jen HewettWebsite: Jen HewettInstagram: Jen Hewett This episode was produced and managed by Podcast Laundry.

We chose this career knowing that we'd often be working solo, but what do we do when loneliness kicks in? How can we protect ourselves from the negative thoughts that creep in?In this episode, one of the most encouraging seamstresses I know, Kate Wooden, shares how she keeps it all in perspective. Kate has a sewing studio in her home, and knows full well the struggles of a solo seamstress. Being responsible for every facet of a business can feel like…a lot. And without a game plan to keep our thoughts in check, working by and for ourselves can be daunting.Join us for a friendly chat about the thoughts that get stuck in our head, and the ways we can refute them. Here are some takeaways:-audiobooks are your friends! Listening to audiobooks and podcasts is a great way to keep our minds busy while sewing. Don't let your negative thoughts take over!-Remember to give yourself grace. Having all the responsibilities of running a business, making deadlines, and keeping our home in some kind of order is a big deal. Give yourself grace for bumps along the way-Focus on the awesome clients. Once we overthink about the unpleasant experiences, the uncommon ride clients, it's hard to dig ourselves out of that thought pattern. Appreciate the wonderful moments, and have that be your daily drive!-Enjoy the work! Kate loves working with pretty fabrics- that joy is not lost on her! Sometimes something as simple as appreciating the beauty can be a life saver.To learn more about Kate, check out her Instagram, @katesalterations and be inspired!

Natalie, the Sparkly Sewist herself, joined Amanda in conversation about getting started in sewing and quilting and their love of pretty fabric. She runs her shop out of her home, and loves to curate fabric bundles for quilts, as well as picking fabric combos for her doll clothes. Natalie has found a niche for doll lovers of all ages! The clothes she creates for 18 inch dolls are so dreamy and Amanda wishes they were her size!

Justin first started in early 2020. He made masks for his sister and since then he has continued to sew for his own needs like his new 2022 back to work clothes. Finding patterns and fabrics are a challenge and you'll find the patterns he's used are worth considering for any body. Justin does reuse and recycle fabrics, materials and projects he's made but won't get any wear out of. As Justin says, the sewing community is more than just talking about sewing.

In this episode we hear from stylist and heritage sewist, Allison Latham-Jones. Allison talks about what sets her apart as a stylist and how her artistic eye comes into play. We talks about points of intersection between fashion, creative expression, performance, advocacy and more.  Allison also talks about the freedom she feels upon taking fashion into her own hands with the sewing machine, and the relationship between art, craft and business as a stylist. Allison also talks about her grandmother, her “artistic root,” and how she became a stylist. Lastly, we talk about how  COVID has impacted people's bodies and their fashion and Allison shares some powerful client stories that will make you re-think your relationship with your body and the freedom to wear what you want. Allison also recommends these additional resources for more information on racial justice: Me and White Supremacy workbook Me and White Supremacy — the book Rachel Cargle’s #Dothework Challenge and the Great Unlearn: “Monthly self-paced, self-priced learning collective, committed to celebrating and highlighting the genius of academics of colour. We have created an online learning platform rooted in providing resources and critical discourse to aid in unlearning. I believe that knowledge leads to action. The Great Unlearn platform is used to both provide education and inspire meaningful action.” https://kxci.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Allison-Latham-Jones-Mini.mp3

Joost is the creator of freesewing.org Makers, designers and developers contribute to this free resources so there are sewing patterns anyone can access for free, as the name free sewing suggests. These designs have been used by previous men who sew podcasts guests Wouter.vdub and Enno Swets. FreeSewing is an open source software project with the aim of becoming the Wikipedia of sewing patterns. FreeSewing provides a core library for parametric pattern design, an ever-growing library of designs implemented in code, as well as a bunch of adjacent tools for building modern interfaces on top of our platform. FreeSewing is not interested in fashion, trends, or publishing the hot new pattern of the season. Instead, the contributors want to empower makers by distilling the knowledge of the sewing community into parametric designs + documentation, and make that information freely available.
