Malena and Johanna get candid about their own struggles when it comes to sewing clothes made with knit fabrics. We talk about fabrics that can't handle sewing, disappointing necklines and having the serger knife slice up your garment (again!).

Luckily they have figured out some great tips along the way, so listen carefully to save you from making the same mistakes. Some of Malena's and Johanna's tips involve using a glue stick and a timer. But not together!

Malena and Johanna talk about the realities of running a sewing business. Can you quit your day job, or even make money at all? And does creating content take the fun out of sewing?

Johanna likes to pretend she is running a big sewing media house with a staff of highly skilled professionals. But in reality, she is mostly a one-person show.

Malena is more down-to-earth and likes to apply the "good enough" philosophy to save her sanity. Plus she is a big fan of delegating.
