In this episode of Splitting Seams, I sit down for a long, honest, and sometimes technical bag-making chat with Jess of Wish Upon a Rainbow. We talk about bag making differences across the US and UK, the importance of support networks, meeting people where they’re at, and what it’s been like for Jess running a high-demand handmade business. We discuss self expression, talent vs skill, and some upcoming changes to her business. Jess offers some absolutely amazing insights into all things, so it was truly a treat to chat with her.Jess's Linktree: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://linktr.ee/Wishuponarainbow">https://linktr.ee/Wishuponarainbow</a>Shannon's Linktree: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://linktr.ee/knottedthreadsco">https://linktr.ee/knottedthreadsco</a>Support the show and get early access to episodes and more by joining the Patreon: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/cw/SplittingSeams">https://www.patreon.com/cw/SplittingSeams</a>

Unraveling the stories behind the stitches — because every seam has a story.Hosted by Shannon of Knotted Threads Co., Splitting Seams explores the real stories behind the sewists, designers, and business owners shaping the small-scale bag-making world. From the challenges they’ve faced to the passions that drive them, each conversation reminds us that creativity is beautifully imperfect — and always worth sharing.
