How sewing pattern grading works #116

<p>Sizing a sewing pattern is rarely as simple as making everything bigger or smaller. In this episode, Malena unpacks what pattern grading actually involves, from choosing a base size to adjusting proportions for areas like the bust, waist, neck and sleeves.</p><p>You’ll hear why grading is about balance rather than mathematics alone, how fabric choice affects the process, and why there are so many different sizing charts out there. </p><p>If you’ve ever wondered why sizing can feel inconsistent or simply confusing, this episode gives you a clearer understanding of the decisions happening behind the scenes.</p><p>Mentioned in this episode</p><p><a href="https://www.munaandbroad.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Muna and Broad</a></p><p><strong>Email us at </strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠stitchingtalespod@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</p><p>Or contact us at our socials:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/stitchingtalespod" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Stitching Tales on Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@StitchingTalesPod" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Stitching Tales on YouTube</a></p><p><strong>About Malena Hjerpe: </strong>Professional pattern maker, sewing book author and owner of Hazelhen Patterns.</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/hazelhenpatterns" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hazelhen Patterns Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.hazelhenpatterns.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">hazelhenpatterns.com</a> (get your free Malva t-shirt pattern)</p><p><strong>About Johanna Lundström: </strong>Sewing book author, pattern designer and sewing content creator.</p><p><a href="https://www.thelaststitch.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">thelaststitch.com</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/laststitch/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Last Stitch Instagram</a></p>

The messy reality of pivoting #115

<p>Sometimes a business pivot starts with a carefully planned strategy. Other times it starts with panic, burnout, a global crisis… or just the growing feeling that something isn’t working anymore.</p><p>In this episode, Malena and Johanna talk about the messy reality of changing direction as creative entrepreneurs. From freelance work and sewing businesses to bridal alterations, PDF patterns and unexpected career detours (construction worker!).</p><p>They also reflect on the emotional side of entrepreneurship: anxiety, motivation, social exhaustion, financial uncertainty and how difficult it can be to know whether you should keep pushing forward or try something completely different.</p><p>And naturally, it wouldn’t be Stitching Tales without a slight detour into matching fabric shades, small talk and the unexpected ways world events have shaped their businesses.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Email us at </strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠stitchingtalespod@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</p><p>Or contact us at our socials:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/stitchingtalespod" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Stitching Tales on Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@StitchingTalesPod" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Stitching Tales on YouTube</a></p><p><strong>About Malena Hjerpe: </strong>Professional pattern maker, sewing book author and owner of Hazelhen Patterns.</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/hazelhenpatterns" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hazelhen Patterns Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.hazelhenpatterns.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">hazelhenpatterns.com</a> (get your free Malva t-shirt pattern)</p><p><strong>About Johanna Lundström: </strong>Sewing book author, pattern designer and sewing content creator.</p><p><a href="https://www.thelaststitch.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">thelaststitch.com</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/laststitch/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Last Stitch Instagram</a></p><p><br /></p>
