  • Sewing Stories

    This podcast has me captivated. It’s the storytelling that captures me. I’ve been listening to the podcast for a little while now and after listening to the QuiltCon 2023 episode, I felt inspired, emotional and captivated. I appreciate the careful threading of the messages Meg takes us through with her guests. As a hobbiest quilter, learning the ropes to this art form and craft, listening to this podcast has become part of understanding the identity and culture behind quilting.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mary Lou Cox – The connections you make…you never know where they’ll take you!
Q: Can you walk us through your path in the entertainment industry and how you ended up at Disney?
After college I interned at an entertainment company, then stayed on as employees. A chance moment in a shop where I was asking about patterns led to a new job through a contact, and I gradually progressed into pattern making. Disney eventually called me, and I've been there for 25 years, leading a team of sewists who create costumes for shows and parades.
Mary Lou Cox – The connections you make…you never know where they’ll take you!
Q: We are very excited to have you with us today. How did you learn to sew and who influenced your sewing?

Maelynn Wood - Mae Just Sew
