    My workroom routine always involves listening to my podcasts. The Sew Much More Podcast is of course, at the top of my list. 😊

    Hearing the conversations of other workroom owners provides a ‘kinship’ of sorts.

    Our experiences are shared by others, both good and not so good. These stories are motivating, like that feeling we have attending the CWC conference or CHF conference in the past. Ceil provides us with a taste of that excitement of meeting our counterparts.

    I enjoy learning about th... more

  • This Podcast is my new essential tool!

    Listening to Ceil talk with various entrepreneurs in this industry and hearing all about how they got their start, what struggles they’ve had, what successes they’ve had, and what advice they can give to others has definitely been one of the best things I’ve discovered recently. I’ve operated my own workroom for 23 years, and I can identify with so many of these experiences, but also have gained a sense of direction for my future from listening. Thank you, Ceil, for doing this!

  • Feels like community

    Working as a solo upholsterer can be so isolating, but listening to The Sew Much More podcast makes me feel like I’m in a room with my peers. At some point in every episode I find myself agreeing out loud with something a guest is saying 😅I look forward to every episode.

  • I look so forward to Sunday mornings when I can relax with my cup of coffee and listen to Ceil’s podcast. Always informative, inspiring, fun, and sometimes deeply emotional. I feel like I have a connection with each person being interviewed. It’s amazing how similar our stories all are on how we got started in the business, our love of sewing and creating all things beautiful. Each week as she is asking her usual questions I find my self answering them to myself...they make me think about all ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

485 - Kristen Speyer Follow Up Podcast
Q: What were the specific things that were the impetus for you to say, this space isn't working any longer?
We are on a well and we're also on a septic system, which made it inconvenient for my team to access facilities, and we had a massive workload that required more space.
483 Listener Favorite - Kristin Speyer
Q: What has been your biggest challenge?
One of the largest disasters was a sheer drape mounted track recessed into the ceiling, which took three tries to get correct.
483 Listener Favorite - Kristin Speyer
Q: What is your definition of success?
When I see an installed window treatment, you will get a very honest reaction from husbands and teenagers. When I hear the 15-year-old daughter say, oh, it's so pretty, that is success.
483 Listener Favorite - Kristin Speyer
Q: Did you set out to go into business for yourself or did you have a career before this business?
I had a very roundabout journey to end up here, and I ended up more so just getting a job to pay the bills.
477 - Stacy McAleer from The Cavanaugh House
Q: What is your definition of success?
Success is about making individuals feel worthy and accomplished, regardless of whether they achieve financial success.
