Sewing revelations, business woes and a health scare #121

47 min18 augusti 2026

Summer is almost over, routines are returning, and Johanna and Malena are back with a catch-up. They talk about trying to take time off, getting back into work mode, Swedish summer weather, and the small matter of a health scare that gave Johanna an unexpected break from coffee, spices, wine and basically all the things she enjoys.

The conversation also delves into the less glamorous side of creative work: EU packaging regulations and the administrative maze of running a small business.

They also have some fun sewing updates, including differential feed breakthroughs, making samples for To a Tee, and getting ready for a fall photo shoot and a fresh look for the podcast.

Another exciting thing: Johanna is about 75% done with To A Tee. Who knew! The work-life balance is, however, still in the muslin stage, it seems.
