Love to listen to Love to sew
I listen to many quilting and sewing podcasts. But yours is the number 1. When a new episode comes up, I’d look at the time length and the longer it is the happier I am, more to listen to:)
The last podcast with Bernadette, 1 hour and 10 minutes, yes!!! Now I want to buy her book.
May I suggest a guest for your future shows? Maria of Dresspatternmaking.com.
She is the only I know who makes you tube videos on how to draft pants and bodice blocks for non-standard figures.
Looking forward to the your next episode:)
Not impressed
I have enjoyed the podcasts and have given you my business by ordering fabric from Blackbird and purchasing a pattern or two. I assumed your podcasts were to support those businesses and now, having to pay - again - to listen to them does not seem fair.
I’m out.
Bummer
Loved this podcast and the hosts but looks like all the fun new episodes are subscriber only. I’m going to unfollow this show as all the new content is behind a paywall now.
