Johanna and Malena do something slightly uncomfortable in this episode – they talk about themselves. With a growing number of new listeners (hi everyone!) it seemed like a good idea to explain who they are and how they ended up talking about sewing into microphones.
Johanna unpacks her rather non-linear path, from teaching herself to sew, to working as a librarian, then a journalist, then a communications officer.
Somewhere along the way, sewing refused to stay a hobby and in 2015, The Last Stitch was born.
Malena's origin story begins in Finland and a childhood full of sewing. Fashion school confirmed that pattern making was the real interest, which eventually led to nearly a decade at H&M, including several years in Shanghai. After that came freelancing and the discovery of PDF patterns and the online sewing community.
They finish off with some rapid-fire questions that reveal a fact about Malena that Johanna had no idea about, and the conversation takes an unexpected turn. Listen to find out!
