Episode 18: Siah Swag Bags – with Guests Kassiah & Susan
This week on The Sewcial Hour Podcast, we’re joined by the powerhouse sister duo behind Siah Swag Bags: Kassiah Myers and Susan Thiriot! What started as a handmade hustle has grown into a beloved brand known for vibrant bag-making content, must-have supplies, and community-fueled creativity.
We chat all about their journey from craft fairs and classroom teaching to running a thriving sewing business with a devoted YouTube following, Patreon crew, and live teaching events across the country. From industrial thread to industrial machines, these ladies are living the bag-making dream and bringing sewists along for the ride with their “Sew-in the States” and “Swag Dash” series.
Of course, things got off track (in the best way), as Kassiah and Susan kept us laughing and swapping stories throughout the episode. We dive into favorite and least favorite bag fabrics, what it’s like to work with family, and what advice they’d give to fellow creatives carving out their own sewing path.
Thread Talk: We put our guests on the spot to share a hot take!
Icebreaker: What’s your favorite, and least favorite, bag-making fabric? Share your take in The Sewcial Sewists Facebook Group under today’s episode thread!
You’ll also hear:
- Why directional fabrics can be a sneaky challenge
- How community has fueled their success
- What it really takes to run a creative business (hint: sisterly teamwork!)
