Tariffs and Textiles: a Chat with Oge Ajibe

This week on "Stitch Please", Lisa hangs out with the fabulous Oge Ajibe, a Canadian designer with a passion for fashion that "actually" fits. They dish on Oge’s journey from fashion school to running her own brand, tackling size inclusivity, and navigating the not-so-glamorous world of tariffs. Oge shares how sewing helped her find her voice and why joy is stitched into every design. Plus, they spill the details on her upcoming sewing class and how you can support small businesses. Tune in for style, inspiration, and plenty of laughs!
