Listen "Tariffs’ effect on sewing & Malena's pattern launch challenges #72"
Episode Synopsis
Johanna puts on her reporter's hat (she used to be a journalist) and explains how tariffs work and their impact on both sewing businesses and the customers. Hopefully, this will clarify the confusion surrounding the current situation and explain why many sewing companies have ceased shipping to the US. Malena has finally launched her Bilberry top (yay!), but not without last-minute hiccups. Listen for a candid conversation about what it’s really like to run a solo sewing business when outside factors keep throwing new wrenches your way!
