This week CraftSanity features an interview with Melissa Alvarado and Hope Meng who, along with their friend Melissa Rannels, co-own Stitch Lounge, an urban sewing studio in San Francisco and co-authored the fabulous refashioning book "Sew Subversive: Down & Dirty DIY for the Fabulous Fashionista." Tune in to hear the story of how these three crafty women stitched their way into business and the wonderful world of crafty book publishing.
