Really enjoyed this interview. She reminded me of the things you offer and now I wanna brush up on things learned years ago in fashion school. I'm trying to prepare myself as best as I can to become a successful freelancer for 2024. That's the goal

[@SewHeidi]

I'm so glad! Always good to brush up on those skills, but don't remember sometimes you just gotta put yourself out there before you *feel* ready. You got this! 👏
