On the seventh episode of the Inside Handmade Podcast, I finally got to speak with a good friend of mine, Stephanie Huenink from Rose Charlotte Vintage Handmade. Stephanie and I met in a sewing showcase on facebook, but this interview was the first time we’ve spoken to each other without only typing.

Stephanie’s gorgeous work is a true testament to the timelessness of vintage linens: whether incorporating vintage fabric and trim in a garment, or upcycling a vintage item into her one of a kind creation, her pieces are endlessly beautiful and creative, but they also allow the textiles to shine on their own.

In our chat, Stephanie and I cover the obvious points: her shop origins, branding and marketing, and fabric addiction. We also touch on her early sewing fails/successes, she schools me on the definition of "hobby farm" (doh!) and we plan to meet up so she can demonstrate the fine art of "Patio Parenting".
