Welcome to the new Featured Company series on PatternReview. A pattern from an indie designer is more than what's in the envelope. They put a lot more of themselves in their patterns. In this episode I am chatting with Liesl Gibson of Liesl & Co. and Oliver and S Pattern Company. Liesl and I talked about the joys and challenges of founding and running a sewing business. 8 years ago Liesl decided to move her life and business to Madrid, Spain and has not looked back. I hope you enjoy this heart to heart conversation with Liesl.
Celebrate Liesl pattern week with us by posting reviews, buying and sewing with her patterns. Scroll down to find a giveaway!
My vision behind doing these interviews is not only to promote small sewing businesses but also to shed some light on the very real struggles we go through. A day in the life of a small business owner can vary greatly. Your support in reading this, buying patterns, sewing with them, subscribing to our Youtube channel will help PatternReview and Liesl & Co. Patterns. Thank you!
