Blue Cup Shop with Laquana Drayton

Laquana Drayton is a previous fashion blogger, a sewist, and now the owner of Blue Cup Shop, a PDF pattern printing company that serves high-quality solutions for customers. Laquana is joining the Stitch Please podcast to share her unique sewing journey and how she uses her extraordinary skills to enhance her life. This opened up the conversation as we talked about finding clothes that fit her body, being delivered from fast fashion, and why she decided to stop outsourcing her alterations and learn to do it herself. We also touch on how Hancock’s going-out-of-business sale launched her into the sewing world and how she went from newbie to winning a Pattern Review contest and getting featured in a magazine. She also expanded on how Blue Cup Shop started, why she embraces the boutique service model and uses her customer-focused business to help the sewing community. This episode is a beautiful conversation around evolution, growth, and opportunities that come if you’re open and willing to receive.
