We discuss into her inspirations sources, which include a deep connection to nature and indigenous communities and practices. Valeria also discussed the impact of AI on artistry, the importance of maintaining artisanal crafts, and the spiritual connection she finds in her work.

36. From Seed to Shirt - A Brief History of Cloth Aug 30, 2024

In this episode, we'll explore how cloth is made, the journey from fiber to fabric, and how that influences how clothes are made. As we trace the history of clothing, we'll discover how this technology has influenced just about every part of our lives.
This was the wormhole that led me to create my soft work intuitive garment design course (my plan was to more deeply study how clothing was made throughout time to connect it to how we can more easily make clothes in the current age and… what I ending up doing was studying everything from agriculture to mythology to pottery) but there’s so much interesting history that got left out that I wanted to share it here.

34. Envisioning Fashion's Future with Made X Hudson Jul 31, 2024

I’m SO excited about this interview, Sergio and Eric have done the incredible work of not just reinvisioning an industry in their heads, not just casting a better future for fashion, but turning that into a reality and creating a sustainable system within which others can pull from as well.
Made X Hudson is a sustainability-driven fashion company with a small-batch factory and two retail stores in New York’s Hudson Valley,
They share their journey of creating a unique, vertically integrated small batch atelier in Catskill and Hudson, New York. Tune in to learn how they bring manufacturing back to the States, training a new workforce, and maintaining a strong emphasis on ethical and sustainable practices.

33. Prioritizing Your Creativity Jul 03, 2024

My Monthly Stitch Membership is OPEN until July 12th!
The assumption is often that I’m naturally creative, that I spend all my time making art. The reality is - I research and write and teach about creativity BECAUSE it’s hard for me.
This past few years has been especially challenging, but I've got a few tricks up my sleeve...

In this episode, I've shared some ideas for getting back into your practice after a hiatus, getting more consistent with your creative practice (and why you should!), and working through the resistance and doubt that comes up!

32. Zero-Pattern Sewing?! May 15, 2024

30. A Quick Guide to Repurpose and Upcycling Garments Apr 17, 2024

Repurposing and upcycling is a revolutionary act of creativity and resourcefulness. These actions embody the spirit of transformation, taking garments worn and weathered and breathing new life into their tired fibers.

This episode talks about my favorite methods for upcycling garments, how I manage all the fabric from garments that are too far gone to save, and some new methods on my list to try!

27. The Joy of "Making it" Dec 12, 2023

I want to talk about our ideas around the meaning of “making it”! I’m so often talking about making things in the literal sense, on my teachings on embroidery and making clothes, but I also want to talk about ideas of success, and how I shifted my idea of what “making it” really means over the past 10 years as a small business owner.
I also offer a little advice about how we can get closer to our own idea of success - hint, it takes way less work than you’d think.

26. How Do You Value Your Time? Nov 21, 2023

Let's talk about making things, and the cost of materials vs the cost of our own time (and why you shouldn't bother trying to recreate the $70 sweater). There's been a lot of conversations recently on why sweaters seem so cheap - so as makers, let's talk about our role in creating for our own wardrobe.

25.Chromatic Vibrations Feb 08, 2022

Have you ever spent time to think about why we see the colors we see? How this information is translated in our brains, and if we all actually see colors the same, or if my red is different from your red? Do we all see the same shade of blue in the sky?

Beyond that even, what makes the sky blue?
This episode takes a look at chromatic vibrations, how we see color and how that may effect our state of being.

24. Returning to your Process Jan 25, 2022

After more than a month off, I'm returning to the podcast with some thoughts on how we can return to our own creative process after periods of rest. It seems so simple... but can be a bit of a struggle! I talk about:
- January1st as quite an arbitrary starting point - forgive yourself for having failed!
- getting back into your creative groove
- the importance of rest and play (episode 7) and creative intimacy (episode 22)

23. Go Back and Get It! Dec 07, 2021

Let's talk about how I like to end the year, with plenty of creative reflection that helps fuel my endeavors into the new year.
This episode is based on the Adinkra symbols of the Ashanti people (modern day Ghana, Togo, and Côte d'Ivoire) called "Sankofa" meaning, go back and get it. There are two different symbols that share this name, with slightly different meanings. I'll be referring to the bird turned back on itself meaning, learning from the past.

22. Creative Intimacy Nov 23, 2021

In this episode, I wanted to expand upon something Haley said in the last episode, making art that doesn't get seen by others. Maybe not never, but at least giving your creative practice the space to exist without external input.

I share a few ways that I like to explore this theme of creative intimacy in my own artistic practice!

21. The Art of Authenticity with Haley Ann Bradley of Studio Hecha Nov 08, 2021

"...not everything you make needs to be shared; having privacy with your work is kinda sexy!" One of my favorite take-aways from my conversation with Haley, ceramicist / dirt queen and the maker behind @studio.hecha!

We talk about many things, among them:
- how Haley discovered her personal style
- recommendations for discovering your own style, and the art of authenticity within your own work
- the extractive nature of corporate design and the mono-culture created through corporate trend boards
- how the internet tends to remove the human behind the art
and some amazing tips on finding inspiration outside of the internet! Hearing her describe her relationship with the medium of ceramics will hit home for anyone who works with their hands!

20. Alexandra Jacopetti Hart Oct 25, 2021

What an honor to be able to interview one of my idols for this episode of Stitch Wish Radio! Alexandra Hart is the author of the cult classic Native Funk and Flash, one of the original founders of Folkwear Patterns, as well as a counter-culture textile artist in her own right, located in Northern California.
This episode is a slower pace, so please enjoy the contrast from our modern societies tendency towards highly edited and condensed form of sharing information, to a relaxing conversation with this incredible artist!
Mentioned in this episode:

- Bardo dress (more on the concept of Bardo here)
- Bolinas Macrame Park
- Folkwear Patterns (and the vintage ones that Alexandra worked on here)

19. Shifting Our Work Seasonally Oct 04, 2021

No matter how hard we fight against it... winter is coming. Even if you live in a temperate climate, the seasons are shifting, even if you're in a different hemisphere than I am - the seasons are shifting (and winter will, eventually, return).
With this turn to the next quarter of the year, it's time to look at the coming few months and dream up how they look, and make decisions to move towards that vision.
For this podcast - this means shifting to releasing every other week so I can have more time in between episodes to write and research ideas, and record interviews (of which there are some very exciting new ones coming up, so stay tuned!!)
Lastly - Tuesday, October 5th is the LAST DAY to sign up for Magic Threads for the next few months, so if stoking your inner fire looks like getting deeper into your own creative process, be sure to check out my this online creative embroidery course before it closes!

18. Reuse as Alchemy with Crispina ffrench Sep 27, 2021

I had the pleasure of talking about re-useing and recycling textiles for both art and business this week with Used Clothing Alchemist Crispina ffrench!
She is an environmental textile artist, teacher, and coach working with textile waste to build environmental awareness, create a healthy lifestyle, teach by example, and provide the marketplace with lovely home furnishings, clothing, and accessories.
We talk about how she got into working with repurposed textiles, her journey through entrepreneurship (including the importance of asking for help), the power and autonomy discovered through creativity, and steps we can take to move towards more ecological approach in both the textile industry and in our own work (hint: it starts with get over the guilt of being human and making waste, so we can make more mindful choices!!)

17. Archetypes, Symbols, and Correspondence Art Sep 20, 2021

Long before written language, our species learned to communicate through symbols. As children, we learn to identify images before we can speak. And when we reach for knowledge beyond our own culture, symbols allow us to transcend the limitations of language.
This episode scratches the surface on the idea of working with symbols and archetypes, both in our artwork and in our personal transformations. I discuss my view on how symbols and archetypes work with our minds, and how we can use corresponding images or objects to greater amplify these archetypes.

16. The Taller the Stitch, the Closer to God: Creative Devotion Sep 13, 2021

Despite the fact that I don't really relate to any specific religious scripture, this connection between artistic expression and divine dedication is one that I feel deeply drawn to. So this episode is a little bit about the spiritual nature of creative acts.
I also want to leave you with some actual tools, so I'm sharing a few light suggestions for approaching your creative endeavors in a way that is enriching and rewarding, no matter what the reason for making is!

In this episode, I talk about what VISUALIZATION is to me, how it helps us access non-ordinary consciousness, and work towards creating what we do want. I also share some techniques for enhancing your ability to visualize, and some fun ways to further play around - OH AND, there's also a guided meditation towards the end! (17 minutes in)

A little about the process of making my recent book, Mystical Stitches! I also shared a bit about the process in this IGTV post but this episode goes a little more into detail about the emotional journey and all of the epiphanies along the way!
Making a book epiphanies - the short list:
- Listen to your creative urges; don't wait until they "make sense"
- Send the email. Write the letter. Reach out to the person about the thing - we are all human and humans love connection.
- Get help to work through your mental blocks, no matter how small they might seem
- You don’t have to have a degree in writing to write
- if something isn't working - don't force it - dream about it

10. Inspiration, or "Breathing Life" into your Creative Process Aug 02, 2021

The thing about inspiration is, its hard to pinpoint, hard to guide others to, hard to explain... but having studied the creative process for quite a while, I've picked up some ideas about inspiration that I'm sharing in this episode. I discuss:
- not sharing your magic beans with the skeptic
- reverence and focused attention
- allowing intuition to lead the way even though intellect likes to do so
- concept driven vs experiment driven works
- my 7 favorite ways of seeking inspiration

7. The Power of Play (and Rest!) Jul 12, 2021

Let's talk about how play and rest are integral to our sense of well being - and our ability to adapt to stress and solve problems. Basically, they're the free at-home doctor available to us all, if we can figure out how to stop working long enough to let them happen.
After a heavy month of work, I hit a wall... and PLAY and REST were there to save me! These unquantifiable acts that have no value in capitalism are two of the best things we can do for the health of our bodies and our souls.
