A Holiday Gift for the Creative in You
Introducing The Textile Creative Podcast
The holiday season is officially here, and I hope this week finds you surrounded by warmth, love, and maybe just a little extra creativity.
As I wrap up my year and reflect on all that’s been created, shared, and discovered, I can’t help but feel grateful for this community of fabric and fiber creatives. It’s been an incredible year of growth, shifts, and inspiration—and there’s so much more to come in 2025!
This week, I’m thrilled to share something new with you—a special gift I’ve been working on behind the scenes that’s been months in the making.
The Textile Creative with Virginia Wygal
I’m beyond excited to officially launch my new podcast, The Textile Creative with Virginia Wygal!
If you’ve ever dreamed of turning your love of fabric and fiber into a thriving creative business or practice, this is for you. Whether you’re just getting started, or already deep in the creative process, this podcast is designed to inspire, empower, and guide you every step of the way.
Here’s what you can expect each week:
- Practical Advice: Actionable insights to help you balance creativity with focus, grow your skills, and make tangible progress.
- Fabric and Textile Techniques: Explore methods, resources, and ideas to expand your creative horizons.
- Inspiring Stories: I’ll share real stories from my own journey and the lessons I’ve learned over 30 years as a designer, director, and creative entrepreneur. I’ll also be bringing in guests to share their creative stories with you.
- Business and Strategy Tips: Learn what it takes to turn your passion into a sustainable, successful venture—without burning out or losing your creative spark.
Think of it as your weekly dose of encouragement, education, and motivation—designed specifically for creatives like you who love fabric, fiber, and design.
Why a Podcast?
I’ve always believed that creativity should feel joyful, not overwhelming. While I’ve loved sharing my ideas here on the blog, I’ve noticed something over the last year: fewer people are clicking through from the emails and reading long posts. Life is busy, and sometimes, sitting down to read just doesn’t fit the schedule.
So, I decided to try something new. The Textile Creative gives you the chance to listen wherever you are—whether you’re sewing, commuting, cooking, or taking a quiet walk to clear your mind. You can take the podcast with you on the go while still learning and growing.
It’s the perfect way to stay inspired without adding another thing to your to-do list.
Your Invitation to Tune In
The first few episodes of The Textile Creative will officially launch on Tuesday, December 24th – That’s TODAY – as a little holiday gift from me to you.
You can find my podcast on Spotify or Apple podcasts!
Grab your phone and listen on your favorite podcast app.
Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss a single episode. Each week, I’ll share something fresh, thoughtful, and actionable to help you move forward on your creative journey.
And if you know someone who loves working with fabric and textiles as much as you do, feel free to share this podcast with them, too.
From My Studio to Yours
As I wrap up the year, I want to say how much I appreciate being part of your creative life. Your ideas, your passion, and your courage to try new things inspire me every day.
So, here’s to a holiday season full of joy, rest, and a little creative magic—and to all the wonderful things we’ll create together in the new year.
Consider The Textile Creative my gift to you—a new way to connect, dream, and make 2025 your most inspired year yet.
I’ll be back next week with one final article for 2024. Until then, have a beautiful holiday filled with love, laughter, and a dash of creativity.
Happy Holidays!
