From Maker to Market: Turning Handmade Into Business

Ever wondered what comes after sewing your first dog coat

Whether you're just starting or have been making dog wear for a while, there comes a moment when you think: Could I actually design something of my own? Not just tweak someone else’s pattern... but truly bring your own idea to life?

In this episode, I walk through the journey many makers take—from hands-on sewing to exploring their own designs, and eventually digitizing and (maybe!) selling them. If you’ve ever felt that creative nudge, this episode will help you understand what your next step could be—and remind you that there’s no single right way to get there.
