ct072 Cal Patch: on landing a dream job at Urban Outfitters and how her love for clothing design lead to discovering her true calling

Why Cal can no longer walk into an Urban Outfitters or Anthropologie. How realization that life in the fashion industry is notoriously overworked and underpaid transformed Cal into a 20 year, we can officially call it creative career of her own. How following her heart and a roll with it approach to her work have lead her to her calling plus time to feed her chickens in the afternoon. Enjoy a conversation with Cal Patch, clothing designer, author, maker and teacher. While we don't analyze things too much {well maybe we do as it is my podcast after all ;)} we do open maybe 1 or 2 cans of worms about artists and designers value, rights and getting paid!!! Cal designs for and teaches women seeking to express their individual style rather than follow the latest trend. And if you ever have the chance to take a sewing and pattern design class from her in person, do it!
