In this episode, Amanda chats with avid sewist, Loni Jakubowski. Loni's Havin' Sew Much Fun is a space of creative energy and Loni shows off all her amazing hand-made projects. Not only does she make some really beautiful clothing, she now has a fanny pack pattern out called the BFF Bag (and no, the BFF does not stand for Best Friends Forever). Loni and Amanda talk about the shared experiences of sewists, whether that be through quilting, making garments or anything in between. They also talk about the wonderful world of fabrics and the approachability of sewing for yourself. These two became fast friends and hope you join them for the fun!

Amanda interviewed Ashelyn Downs of Urban Dwell Studio and The Grateful Thread podcast. Ashelyn is a wife, mom of five, pattern designer, podcast host and artist.
From an early age, Ashelyn was always creating. From playing “art school” with cousins and forcing her younger sisters to practice dance routines and plays for hours on end to constructing mini homes from Q-tips and glue, there was always something to transform or beautify. As an adult, her love for textiles flourished as she found herself making her family’s house into a home.
During the pandemic, she began transforming vintage quilts into useable products and a small business was born. Upon working with so many incredible quilts, Ashelyn decided to try her own hand at this artform that was such a large part of her life; so, she made her first quilt in March 2022. Then, she made another. And another... and another.
While she is fairly new to quilting, her sewing experience, pattern writing and design background have culminated into creating beginner friendly quilt patterns that represent the styles and the spaces of the people that get to use them.
Pulling inspiration from the full evolution of 20th century architecture, 90’s grunge, street art, travel and pop culture, she combines minimalist color pallets and artistic concepts to her work, which she hopes will inspire the next generation of quilters so that, when they discover the joy that is quilting, that there is an entire subculture corner of the quilting world with their names on it- waiting, with arms wide open.

In this episode Amanda chats about her experience with trying to balance the hubbub of the holidays and the things she wants and needs to do to preserve her mental health. Sewing for oneself can seem to be a bit of a challenge this time of year, especially if you're the owner of a quilting business! The client quilts take priority! No complaints here! Just a jolly ol' check in with the hostess with the mostess(t).
