Join us this week with our tenth episode of the Why Bother? Podcast hosted by Gareth Davies as we speak with Catherine Perron from Creationz by Catherine!
Catherine has a background in theatrical design + fine arts, though she has worked for 10 years as a flight attendant! Her two biggest passions are travel and art, and she successfully found a way to get paid for both. Creationz by Catherine began when Catherine designed and sewed some custom stockings one holiday season, that were very popular on Etsy & the market scene.
Now you can find her unique retro designs, which have a focus on Canadiana, on her ornaments, tea towels, pillows & more. She designs each one of her pieces starting as a sketch, then printing the fabric. She prints, cuts and sews each ornament from her own home and designs while traveling as a flight attendant. Her family are some of her biggest supporters and have a tradition of helping stuff ornaments ahead of the season!
Why Bother? Is a Podcast produced by Maker House Co. An exploration of why we choose to do things the hard way, from creating products, to community change, to TikTok! Learn more about the people behind the products you love, and hear the interesting stories behind them.
