From fashion to felt, patchwork to hashtags, and teaching Kirstie Allsopp to needlefelt along the way, Jayne Emerson's journey through art and textiles has taken all kinds of fascinating twists and turns. Join us as we untangle the threads!

Welcome to our podcast for all stitchers, embroiderers, textile artists and creative souls, where we have friendly informal conversations about what it actually means to be an artist working in textiles. Isobel and Gina are both practicing artists and tutors specialising in machine embroidery, but we’re still figuring it all out! We chat about combining the creative process with running a business and hope that you will find inspiration and support for your own creative journeys.
