Today on Sew & So, we welcome Cait Trantham whose creative path is as dynamic and unexpected as the life she's lived. Born in Nebraska and raised in a military family, she grew up constantly on the move—an experience that shaped her adaptability, curiosity, and willingness to dive into something new. That sense of adventure carried into adulthood when she married a Marine, and together they've continued that lifestyle—moving nearly ten times over the past 17 years while raising their three kids and their dog, Saint. Along the way, she's worn a lot of hats—yoga instructor, ride operator, even magician's assistant—but through it all, there's been a consistent love of creativity and a drive to explore it in new ways. Foe Cait, sewing garments wasn't always part of that story. For years, she was almost exclusively a quilter, with clothing construction feeling just out of reach. But when the pandemic hit and the world slowed down, she found herself searching for inspiration. By deconstructing garments and putting them back together, she taught herself how clothing works from the inside out. That hands-on, approach sparked something deeper which she describes as scratching just the right place in her brain. She began sharing those upcycled creations online, and over the past six years, that openness has grown into a vibrant and engaged community. Her work has led to opportunities around the world, including traveling to Spain to film an upcycling class, and even collaborating on a reality sewing show concept.  Today, she's taken her skills into working at Walt Disney World in Live Entertainment Costuming. On the creative side of the team, she helps design, create, supply, and maintain costumes for shows and parades, blending storytelling and craftsmanship. She's also the creative force behind a tea towel dress project—one that showcases her design perspective, and highlights her passion for community, collaboration, and storytelling through textiles. It's a project that even caught the attention of her local news. When she's not designing or creating, she enjoys thrifting, hunting for vintage treasures which includes adding to her collections of Pyrex, quilts, and mid-century décor—always inspired by the stories and history behind the pieces she finds. (3:21) How did Cait learn to sew and who influenced her? And…did she really think sewing was boring?! (5:21) Did her life as a child in a military family influence her creative choices? (6:17) Where was her favorite place to live? (6:40) before the pandemic she found garment sewing to be intimidating. Now that's the majority of what she does. What changed? (8:49) What's the “creative part of her brain” that sewing ultimately scratched? (9:53) Why did her upcycling resonate so well with her YouTube audience? (10:34) How about some stories about her interaction with her audience? Learn about the Tea Towel project! (18:00) Would she do it again? (18:16) Cait has has some pretty memorable experiences and moments. What was her favorite? (21:12) Hear more about her sewing reality show. (21:57) How does her love for vintage influence her design choices today? (24:36) She has done many things. Hear about her being a ride operator and magician's assistant. (28:47) What's next for Cait and what's her dream? (29:45) Is there a question we didn't ask?! (30:14) How can you reach out to Cait?

Season 5 is coming very soon and this season, we're talking about the thing that's on everyone's mind (whether we like or not) — money. Maybe you've heard that Native American proverb, “Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish been caught, and the last stream poisoned, will we realize we cannot eat money.”But, the way we spend our money matters, and as a mindful consumer, financial decisions can feel like a burden — especially when we don't have much control over them. We can often choose where to spend our money, but we can't choose what companies do with that money.  Our society doesn't run on money, it runs on the earth— water, soil, plants, air. As of late — we'll call it the past 300 years — we've had a pretty one-sided relationship with these essentials we need to live and that largely has to do with the fact that what we value and the way we value it is measured in dolla dolla bills.This season we're talking about — How the rising cost of groceries is threatening food security in ways you might not expect If giving our money to offsets is actually worth itThe companies that are lobbying for fossil fuelsHow everyday people are footing the bill for data centersDecades of war propping up the fossil fuel industry, and how that extends to our front lawns.What it's going to take to get proper investment in sustainable aviation fuelSubscribe so you don't miss an episode!

Transcript:Sv: Linnea och Jens steg in i den livliga matbutiken tillsammans, deras ansikten glada inför uppgiften.En: Linnea and Jens stepped into the lively grocery store together, their faces bright with anticipation for the task ahead.Sv: Våren hade just börjat blomma utanför, och man kunde känna en uppfriskande doft av grönskande nytt liv i luften.En: Spring had just begun to bloom outside, and one could sense a refreshing scent of verdant new life in the air.Sv: Butiken var full av människor som pratade glatt, fyllda korgar rasslade på golvet och färgstarka grönsaksstaplar lockade kunderna.En: The store was full of people chatting happily, brimming baskets clattering on the floor, and colorful vegetable displays enticing the customers.Sv: "Jag vill laga en hållbar middag ikväll," sa Linnea och pekade mot de lokalproducerade grönsakerna.En: "I want to cook a sustainable dinner tonight," said Linnea, pointing towards the locally produced vegetables.Sv: Jens log skeptiskt.En: Jens smiled skeptically.Sv: "Tror du vi hittar allt vi behöver här?"En: "Do you think we'll find everything we need here?"Sv: frågade han och sneglade mot den sedvanliga avdelningen för importerade varor.En: he asked, glancing toward the usual section for imported goods.Sv: Linnea höjde hakan bestämt.En: Linnea raised her chin resolutely.Sv: "Vi gör ett experiment.En: "Let's do an experiment.Sv: Jag köper mina ingredienser här, från det lokala utbudet.En: I'll buy my ingredients here, from the local selection.Sv: Du köper dina från importhyllan," föreslog hon.En: You buy yours from the import shelf," she suggested.Sv: Jens accepterade med ett skratt och en viss nyfikenhet i rösten.En: Jens agreed with a laugh and a hint of curiosity in his voice.Sv: De skiljdes åt vid frukt- och grönsaksavdelningen.En: They parted ways at the fruit and vegetable section.Sv: Linnea vandrade med lätta steg bland morötter, rödbetor och knapriga äpplen, allt nyligen skördat från närliggande gårdar.En: Linnea wandered with light steps among carrots, beets, and crispy apples, all recently harvested from nearby farms.Sv: Jens däremot befann sig snart i djungeln av importerade frukter och grönsaker, allt prydligt paketerat och märkt med långa transportsträckor.En: Jens, on the other hand, soon found himself in the jungle of imported fruits and vegetables, everything neatly packaged and labeled with long transport distances.Sv: Vid kassan möttes de igen, korgar fyllda med sina val.En: At the checkout, they met again, baskets filled with their choices.Sv: Linnea lade fram sina varor, lysande av färska jordgubbar och solvarma tomater.En: Linnea placed her goods, glowing with fresh strawberries and sun-warmed tomatoes.Sv: Jens såg med en gång tveksam ut när han jämförde sina bleka, smaklösa persikor.En: Jens immediately looked doubtful when he compared his pale, flavorless peaches.Sv: Plötsligt dök en lokal bonde upp i kön bakom dem.En: Suddenly, a local farmer appeared in the queue behind them.Sv: "Ser ut som du hittade de bästa produkterna," sa bonden, nickande beundrande åt Linneas val.En: "Looks like you found the best products," said the farmer, nodding admiringly at Linnea's selection.Sv: Jens såg tveksamt på den varma färgprakten och kände en gnista av ånger.En: Jens looked hesitantly at the warm burst of color and felt a spark of regret.Sv: Hemma igen, med doften av middag som spred sig i köket, satte sig Jens och Linnea vid bordet.En: Back home, with the aroma of dinner spreading in the kitchen, Jens and Linnea sat down at the table.Sv: Linnea hade lagat en färgfylld sallad med örtkräm, allt från hennes skörd.En: Linnea had made a colorful salad with herb cream, all from her harvest.Sv: "Det smakar fantastiskt," erkände Jens och bländade av smaken och den tydliga fräschören.En: "It tastes amazing," admitted Jens, dazzled by the flavor and the evident freshness.Sv: Jens insåg plötsligt värdet i Linneas engagemang.En: Jens suddenly realized the value in Linnea's commitment.Sv: "Jag måste erkänna, det finns något i din strategi," sa han och log varmt.En: "I must admit, there's something to your strategy," he said, smiling warmly.Sv: Linnea svarade med ett triumferande leende.En: Linnea responded with a triumphant smile.Sv: "Kanske är det dags för dig att försöka lägga till några hållbara vanor i ditt liv?"En: "Maybe it's time for you to try integrating some sustainable habits into your life?"Sv: Med en nyfunnen respekt för de lokala produkterna, gick Jens med på att ändra sitt sätt.En: With a newfound respect for local products, Jens agreed to change his ways.Sv: "Nästa gång testar vi dina metoder igen," sade han, redo att utforska mer av den gröna världen Linnea förespråkade.En: "Next time, we'll try your methods again," he said, ready to explore more of the green world Linnea advocated.Sv: Kvällen avslutades med skratt och en växande förståelse mellan de två, när de delade sin hållbara måltid och planerade för nästa gröna utmaning.En: The evening ended with laughter and a growing understanding between the two, as they shared their sustainable meal and planned for the next green challenge.

All season, we've rooted ourselves in community. Inspired by vast, underground webs of mycellium we've shared ways to create local networks of support, information, and resilience. We've talked about how we can use our collective power to prep for climate disasters, protect the water, and use our dollars to resist consumption and combat greenwashing. On this episode, we're ending the season by reminding ourselves that we're part of nature and that we can look to our fellow animals, as well as plants and fungi, at any time for lessons in community, resilience, and patience.  

Find Dana at The Druid's Garden: Spirit Journeys in Healing the Land, Permaculture, Sustainable Living, and Creative ArtsFind out more about the Plant Cunning Conference at Plant Cunning Conference – Save the date – July 24-26, 2026Book a Vedic astrology reading with Isaac by emailing him at AskIsaacHill@gmail.comAC and Isaac welcome back Dana O'Driscoll—Grand Archdruid of Ancient Order of Druids in America, co-director and founder of the Pennsylvania School of Herbalism, author, artist, and creator of the Druid's Garden blog—to discuss her new book, "Eco Spirituality in the 21st Century," co-authored with Nate Summers. They talk about the book as a practical roadmap for difficult times, rooted in nature spirituality and community, and built around seven themes: reconnection, respect, rewilding, regeneration, resilience, re-enchantment, and revisioning. Dana explains how she and Nate collaborated (long conversations to develop the framework, then dividing chapters by strengths), how the book uses a Druid-inspired structure (Bard/ovate/druid as community/creative practice, nature-based practice, and cosmology/magical theory), and why storytelling and visioning are central as acts of magic that shape reality. The conversation explores animism and agency in the natural world, the role of gratitude and offerings in reciprocal relationships with land and plants, the need to pair magical work with practical action, and the importance of rebuilding local, in-person community through shared meals, fires, mutual aid, and tool shares as larger systems strain. Dana also shares details on upcoming events (Plant Cunning Conference July 24–26 in central New York; Hawthorn Botanical Gathering in June) and where to find her work, including the book via major booksellers, her site (thedruidsgarden.com), and the Pennsylvania School of Herbalism (paherbschool.com).01:10 Conference and Support Updates02:32 Seasonal Check In03:20 Why This Book Now08:01 Co Writing the Book11:34 Meeting Nate and Shared Druidry15:17 Seven Rs Framework22:18 Storytelling as Magic28:19 Agency Action and Enchantment33:52 Stories Shape Reality34:13 Deprogramming Cultural Beliefs35:28 Seven Rs Roadmap38:44 Enchantment Without Overload42:25 Respect Through Animism44:29 Offerings and Deep Gratitude52:15 Reindigenizing Daily Life54:09 Rebuilding Local Community59:01 Herb School and Book Links01:02:43 Final Thanks and Wrap
