Episode 29: Craft Real Magic with Rochelle New

February 19, 2018

Rochelle New is on the show to chat all about her sewing journey, pivoting in life and business, and her dog, Lucille! Rochelle is an amazing maker who designs all the prints and textiles for the items for sale in her online shop, Home Row Fiber Co. She loves sewing and knitting and creates truly unique items for crafters.

Don’t underestimate how much time it takes to find your “thing”. There’s room for you. There’s room for you to grow and pivot and learn and start over and pivot and start over again and refine your skills, learn new ones, figure it out (and never quite figure it out) etc. Give yourself time. Invent your own definition of success. Never give up on that “thing” that you want above everything else. Never stop. Work at it constantly until it becomes tangible… and then keep never stopping.

    Hi Ladies! Thank you SO much for having me on. It thoroughly enjoyed every second of it, you guys are absolutely fantastic hosts. It was a pleasure and a little bit of a life goal achieved! I don’t know if you know this or not …but I was on a podcast, no big deal 😉 😉 😉

    p.s. thanks for your flawless editing and making me sound like I did not in fact ramble on or end every question awkwardly <3

    Seriously, hearing about Rochelle’s love for dogs and how she met her Lucille brought tears to my eyes.

    I’m definitely looking forward to participating in #2019makenine after hearing this.

    1. Helen Wilkinson & Caroline Somos says:

      Awesome! We are so glad you enjoyed it!

  3. So I DO know where Alfred,NY is! I live in Falconer, NY not too far away-and definitely nobody has heard of Falconer:) Loved this episode!

    Oh! Yarn BOWLS!!! I was wondering how in the heck Rochelle was making Yarn BALLS from fabric…
    I’m from Australia, so that might explain why I heard something different. I also couldn’t understand the side seam matching. I couldn’t work out what she was making with side seams!!
    Loved listening to Rochelle.

    1. Helen Wilkinson & Caroline Somos says:

      LOL! That is too funny 🙂 Thanks for listening!

  5. Kim Johnson says:

    I’ve heard of Falconer! That’s where my parents and grandparents originated.
