Nicole Neales (Niko)

In this episode of Splitting Seams, host Shannon Timchula welcomes Niko from Sewgnar, a PDF pattern and handmade goods business that almost exclusively uses cork. They discuss the importance of authenticity in business, the challenges and joys of using cork, and the significance of being open to change and learning from failure. The conversation highlights personal growth, community, and the creative process in the sewing industry.

Some of Niko's thoughts she wanted added to her remarks on competition in the community: "A rising tide raises all ships and I believe there’s enough room at the table for everyone. I don’t personally find it competitive because I do what I can to include and bring others up with me when possible." - - - - Please also take a moment to check out her site to see how she gives back to various organizations every year! See.. I told you she's got a big ol' heart! https://www.sewgnar.com/giving-back
