  • Resumen

  • Hi, my name is SASKIA. I’ve got over a decade of experience in running a small business in the needle craft industry. Selling, pattern and product design, teaching and running a needle craft school. As a small business owner you’re in charge of EVERYTHING branding, marketing, selling, promoting and cleaning the loo. I’m educated in marketing and photography and learned to do everything else ON THE JOB.I’m obsessed with the healing magic of crafting and the power of community.And I’m determined to lift our scene up for the world to notice so they can step away from FAST FASHION.In A SMALLER LIFE we learn from experts in the needle craft, textile and creative industry - big names and small - about what it’s ACTUALLY like to run a small business. Emotional talks with SELLERS about wins and woes, product and design, conscious decision making in branding and communication. Why we do it, how we do it and what we need to become the future of fashion without BURNING THE HELL OUT. A SMALLER LIFE fights apathy in apparel and aims to inspire YOU to look at your wardrobe differently. Where do you buy, how do you use your clothes and can you make some of it yourself? DREAMING BIG about a world where we rely on value based businesses, the KINDNESS ECONOMY and where we can fully say; FUCK FAST FASHION!

    SUMMARY

    In this episode, I discuss my experiences with Instagram as a marketing tool for my business. I emphasize the importance of cultivating genuine connections over garnering thousands of followers and share my plans to limit my screen time on Instagram and explore other platforms, like Pinterest.

    Can you imagine turning your passion for textiles into a thriving business? On this episode of the Pattern Shift podcast, we transport you to the lively Wedding Wool Weekend festival in Berlin’s Wedding neighborhood. Joined by my friend Angela, we had the pleasure of talking with several brilliant textile business owners. Thanks to Ruta from Wollen Berlin, who organized this remarkable event, we're able to share their insightful journeys with you. Listen to our conversation with Saskia Maas of Ovis Etc, who delves into the importance of non-superwash yarn and reveals how support networks can be game-changers for creative entrepreneurs.

    We also bring you the compelling stories of two business owners who transitioned from being self-taught in areas like marketing and photography to seeking professional help to streamline their operations. Hear from a talented knitwear designer who shares her strategies for balancing the creative and business aspects of her work and the empowering role of collaboration. Discover practical advice on building a long-term, sustainable business and the hurdles you must overcome to maintain your creative edge while growing your brand.

    Finally, get inspired by Melinda, Silke from Funk Fiber, and Nora from K
