Interview on How She Creates

Erin Dollar in her pattern studio

I was delighted to chat with Lauren from the podcast How She Creates, giving her an overview of my life in the studio. We talked about my process as a pattern designer, and my experience as a creative teacher, both in online venues like Creativelive, as well as through workshops in my studio in San Diego.

This interview was recorded last summer, right as I got ready to open the retail shop in San Diego! It’s kinda fun to hear how much has changed, and how much has stayed the same since then. Tune in and let me know what you think!

Cotton & Flax on CBS8!

Erin Dollar on CBS8 I was delighted to go on CBS-8 in San Diego yesterday morning to tell our city about Makers Arcade, the holiday sale that I’m participating in on Saturday! It was a great opportunity to remind our community to shop local, and to introduce myself to a wider audience in the city I’ve called home for almost a full year.

If you live in the San Diego area, stop by Makers Arcade this Saturday and say hello!

Interview in Seamwork Magazine

Erin Dollar interviewed for Seamwork MagazineI feel so humbled to have been interviewed in Seamwork Magazine this month! I am always in awe of anyone who can sew their own clothing ⏤ sewing curves and delicate seams is a whole other ballgame compared to the relatively simple designs I sew for Cotton & Flax. It’s an honor to have the opportunity to share my story with Seamwork’s community of talented makers.

In the interview, I talk a bit about Arroyo, my new fabric collection with Robert Kaufman, as well as the ways that I bring my ethics and sustainable mindset to my work at Cotton & Flax. Check out the full interview in Seamwork Magazine to learn more about my background as a maker, as well as my future goals for Cotton & Flax.
