Sew...I Guess We Podcast Now: S-1/EP-1

Season 1 / Episode 1: Sew...I Guess We Podcast Now.

 

Meet Rachael and Nikki — Our Story, Our Why, and What We’re Stitching Today

Welcome to the very first episode of Handicraft and Stitch: The Podcast! We’re Rachael and Nikki—two friends, makers, and big believers in the power of slow stitching, shared stories, and community care.

In this kickoff episode, we’re sitting down (probably with a mug of something warm) to share how Handicraft and Stitch came to be. From the moment we met to the spark that started this whole thing, we talk about what brought us together and why this work feels so important.

We unpack what Handicraft and Stitch really means to us—more than thread and fabric, it’s about making do, making together, and making change. And because it wouldn’t be a proper catch-up without it, we end with a peek at what we’re currently sewing on (spoiler: it’s never just one project).

Whether you’ve been sewing for years or are just curious about getting started, you have a seat at this table. We’re so glad you’re here.

nfession time: we’ve all let fabric sit a little too long in a bin or wondered if we can really throw that delicate textile in the wash. In this episode, we’re tackling the mysteries of fabric care with easy, down-to-earth tips. Because when you care for your fabric, your fabric takes care of your making. Nikki, our fabric care expert, discusses the journey of fabric care- where to start, how to identify fabric, and what to avoid along the way.
