In this episode, we meet Andrea Cheong, author, educator, and founder of Sewn Assembly, a workshop-based clothing line designed to inspire people to sew.

Andrea shares how her work as an online educator in sustainability laid the foundations for Sewn Assembly, and why her mission is as much about changing how people think about clothes as it is about teaching sewing itself. She opens up about the realities of starting out: how long it took to set up, the amount of money she invested to get things off the ground, and the way she’s learned to listen, adapt, and pivot as feedback comes in.

It’s an honest conversation about building something new from scratch, staying true to your vision, and embracing the lessons that come with every stage of the journey.
