Bonus: Roundtable w/Lauren, Niko, & Niki
We recorded this only a couple weeks after the final episode aired, but life and time happened so here we are now about 1.5 months after the final episode of Season 1. Lauren, Niko, Niki, and I talk about some of the throughlines that I noticed throughout the season and how we should take what we have heard from the various guests and use that knowledge to move forward in the most positive light.It was great catching up with these three and to reflect on the show as a whole. Thanks so much for a fantastic first season! I'll see you sometime in 2027 for Season 2!https://linktr.ee/knottedthreadsco

For this 13th episode, I chat with Erica-Lee Helgerson of Lavender & Twine Patterns. Erica has established herself as an extremely respected bag designer and maker in our community, so I was so excited for the chance to pick her brain. She shares all about her design process, the intention and sentiment behind some aspects of her business, and some of her own personal struggles she's had over the last couple of years. Trigger warning: pet death and mental health struggles.Erica's Linktree: linktr.ee/Erica.lavenderandtwineShannon's Linktree: linktr.ee/knottedthreadsco

Jess VanDenBurgh
In this episode of Splitting Seams, I sit down with Jess VanDenBurgh of Sew Many Creations. We had a great time chatting about Jess's journey and evolution of her business over the last two decades, the various dynamics of operating her business in our sewing community, and talk about the importance of authenticity both online and "irl". And, of course, I got to pick her brain about her designing process and what her time was like in the quilting world.

Chanova
This week I’m joined by Chanova. She is a good friend, fellow striker, and one of my past testers. We talk about authenticity, originality, and what it looks like to support other sewists in the community instead of competing with them. We also get into the reality of staying creative while dealing with our own limitations… both the ones in our heads and the ones life throws at us.
