Episode 51 // Morgann McCoy of A Well Worn Story
We’re in New Glarus, Wisconsin (pop. 2,172) this week on the podcast with Morgann McCoy - Owner, Designer, and Seamstress at A Well Worn Story. Morgann creates high quality, handcrafted goods - including durable bags, aprons, and home goods - by transforming textiles into heirloom pieces to tell a unique story.
She’s sharing how it all started with a sewing machine, a dream, and $5,000. She has since created an amazing company that’s intentional about handmade and ethically produced pieces. Something tells us this is only just the beginning for her!

I really fell in love with the creative process of working with my hands and making something. Starting the day with a raw material and then ending the day with this functional product that’s really cool, and just seeing that all the way through.
— Morgann McCoy
I wanted to produce something that people would want to use all the time and maybe even hand down to the next generation. I really try to focus on durable products that are timeless and that people actually want to wear.
