About This Podcast
The podcast teaches you everything you need to know to be profitable at craft-based work, and dive deep on sewing as a career choice. Join your host, Krystal Douglas - a celebrity tailor, creative entrepreneur and wild mustang tamer. Krystal took a Brother home sewing machine and a $30 craigslist desk and built a sewing business that supports a life she loves… while generating hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue each year. It definitely didn’t come easy, but this podcast is meant to help others shorten their learning curve. She shares what she's learned about entrepreneurship and business building as it applies to fashion & craft-based work, and opens up about what she wishes she knew when she first started. Go behind the scenes on every tool, trick, and business process Krystal has learned from costuming celebrities, manufacturing clothing, and selling products... so that you can stop questioning your skills, and start profiting from your work.
