Maker Hobbies Becoming Less

Bizz chats with Megan about maker hobbies like sewing, crafting, knitting, etc.. With maybe a little tangent on the joys of cat ownership.

 

Things we talk about:

Getting creative with what we already have
Not being afraid to experiment
Sourcing the best materials available to us
Using all the little pieces
Making new things out of old things
Buying used tools and equipment, especially when just getting started
Normalizing second hand
Repairing and dying to lengthen the life of our clothing
What to do with "unusable" scraps
"Recyclable" doesn't always mean it's recyclable
Plastic spools replacing wooden spools
