What are Natasha Nicholes's favorite tools and materials for urban farming and sewing projects?

I talk about my roles more than specific brands in the snippets you’re seeing, so I’ll share what I actually lean on day to day, without pretending I’ve endorsed a product I haven’t mentioned.

For urban farming, I rely on:

• Quality hand tools (sturdy trowel, hori hori knife, bypass pruners)
• Raised beds and lots of mulch for weed suppression and moisture
• Compost, rain barrels, and simple drip hoses
• Seed-starting trays and a basic grow-light setup for starting plants in the city

For sewing, from what you’ve seen and what I typically use:

• Quilting cottons, linen blends, denim, and fun prints for bags and dresses
• PDF patterns from indie designers like Michelle Patterns, Shwin Patterns, and I Think Sew
• A reliable sewing machine, sharp needles, good thread, and interfacing for structure
• Details like fabric-covered buttons and recessed zippers to level up simple projects

Are you more curious about the farming side or the sewing side so I can go deeper on tools and materials for that?
