I recently had the absolute pleasure of meeting up with fellow upholsterer Robbie Richardson\u00a0to\u00a0co-host\u00a0the\u00a0launch\u00a0of\u00a0Stuff Stitch\u00a0\u2013\u00a0his\u00a0bi-monthly\u00a0magazine\u00a0for hobbyists, students and professionals who are passionate about the Upholstery and Soft-Furnishing profession.\u00a0How brilliant that finally there is a magazine dedicated to all\u00a0things\u00a0upholstery!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I travelled to\u00a0Wiltshire\u00a0to meet Robbie \u2013 who unbelievably I\u2019d never\u00a0caught up with\u00a0in the flesh before.\u00a0And\u00a0I didn\u2019t just get a sneak preview of the launch issue, I featured in it! Robbie asked me a couple of months ago to write\u00a0an article\u00a0for the first issue\u00a0and I was only too happy to oblige.\u00a0Talking about the positive changes the Pandemic has had on our businesses,\u00a0it was great to see my name in amongst\u00a0what\u00a0has shaped up\u00a0to be a fantastic mix of features and content.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

All about upholstery<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

From an idea sparked during lockdown, Robbie has managed to pull together a polished publication that gives a real insight into the profession.\u00a0I know it will appeal to all levels from hobbyists, new students to renowned businesses\u00a0on\u00a0the upholstery\u00a0scene. With interviews, insights, guest editors from across the world\u00a0and extremely credible reviews, it\u2019s a brilliant resource. You won\u2019t be surprised to hear it\u2019s already sold out.\u00a0To be sure of securing the next issue in December, you need to subscribe via the website stuffstitch.com<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For anyone familiar with Robbie, they\u2019ll know\u00a0that Stuff Stitch\u00a0magazine follows the success of his podcast \u2018In Stitches\u2019.\u00a0Not only did we\u00a0end up recording an\u00a0IG & Facebook Live,\u00a0Robbie\u00a0also invited me to feature in the next\u00a0series of his podcast.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cFrom an idea sparked during lockdown, Robbie has managed to pull together a polished publication that gives a real insight into the profession.\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What followed was a free-flowing, juicy conversation about the ins and outs of running your own \u2018show\u2019. We covered topics such as scaling your business, marketing, web and digital, customer service and training. Robbie has lived and breathed the profession from a young age and\u00a0definitely knows\u00a0what he\u2019s talking about.\u00a0Really\u00a0refreshing to meet someone so enthused and passionate about upholstery. I loved it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Turning upholstery into a business<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I suppose what it also highlights is that while we\u2019re dedicated to the same craft, we all run our businesses in slightly different ways. Robbie is not only known as an accomplished upholsterer,\u00a0he’s also incredibly business savvy. If you ask me, the two put together are dynamite. All too often I come across people who have confidence in one area\u00a0or the other,\u00a0but rarely both. Robbie has invested time and money into informing himself on smarter ways to run his business. It\u2019s got to be admired\u00a0and the proof of his successes are clear to see.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We found loads to chat about and what we both agree on is the need for more open conversations and better information about what it takes to make it in upholstery. When I launched my online guide to getting into upholstery \u2013 Virtual\u00a0Vintique<\/a>\u00a0– it was designed to do just that. I\u2019m so proud that it\u2019s been the springboard for\u00a0some incredibly promising\u00a0students. Many of them had found themselves at a crossroads in their lives and took the decision to retrain. What a fantastic career to\u00a0get into. Not just a career that allows you to carve out a lifestyle that will take you into later years but also\u00a0something that is all about investing in repurposing and reinventing pre-loved pieces for the future.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
