Episode 324: Combining Passion and Service with a Needle and Thread, with Carrie Roberts

Today's guest is Carrie Roberts who has had a passion for sewing for most of her life. She graduated from college with a degree in fashion design and went on to have her own custom bridal business before working in the corporate world. Now, in her second half of life, she has turned her passion into an amazing business - making church vestments.

In this episode, Carrie and I talked about:

• How Carrie got started making church vestments.
• Carrie's interest in the history of church vestments and her commitment to recovering and creating a library of this lost art..
• Carrie's desire to share her knowledge and skills with others so they too can create these special items.
• How the joy of following her passion has created a ripple effect impacting others, including her children.

Carrie also shares her plans for the future. At age 62, she has big plans for her business and the legacy she’s creating. She said someone somewhere has a lovely sewing machine, perhaps unused, sitting in a spare room or attic. Who knows what impact that sewing machine could have on someone’s life!
