Hello and we love to sew. This is a podcast for makers where we talk about

sewing a handmade wardrobe and bringing interviews with inspiring creatives and small business

owners in our community.

On today's episode of Love to So we're talking to Jenny Rushmore, the founder of Kashmirat

patterns.

We'll discuss running an indie pattern business, the curvy sewing community, and learning to love your body through sewing.

Jenny, welcome to the show.

Thank you very much for having me. It's so great to have you here in person in Vancouver

I'm enjoying myself very much my first time here. It is very nice and it's incredibly incredibly warm I did not know Vancouver was in a

tropical climate I'm a seasonably warm this week I think yeah global warming is

definitely affecting us over here on the coast. Yeah, so it's so nice to have you here on the show.

You're our first interviewee, so that's very exciting for us,

and we really appreciate you coming on.

And why don't we just start with you telling us a bit about

your sewing journey and how you began to sell. Sure so I feel like unlike most people I

did not learn so as a child I wish I had actually it would have made my teenage

years much nicer but But yeah, I learned

to so when I was 30, I'm now 37, so seven years. And I've always done creative things, photography, drawing, which I actually got back into now,

and I literally had a list of different things that I wanted to try.

And when I was 30, I was like, oh, I think I'm going to try this one and unlike many other creative hobbies just stuck and I became very

obsessed with it and yeah the rest of this history basically.

I think we can relate to being pretty obsessed with sewing.
