In this 2-part episode of 'Talk Gertie to Me,' hosts Gretchen (Gertie) and Andrea begin to wrap up Season 1 with a lively reflection on vintage glamor sewing, creative processes, and the joys and struggles of monetizing a beloved hobby. Engaging with listener questions, they dive into the realities of running a pattern-making business, from the financial and logistical challenges to the emotional rollercoaster of creative work. They also discuss the careful planning required for their themes and patterns on Patreon, tease upcoming projects, and share personal insights on maintaining inspiration and creative flow amidst deadlines and business demands.
