Customer Reviews
Five stars for the ones I could listen to 😢
I really loved this podcast… fun, interesting and informative. Helen and Caroline are great hosts. I use patterns from Helen’s Closet company and they are very good indeed. But now the’ve set up a pay to listen system. Initially they said it would not stop there being free episodes but sadly none since November 2023. As a person who has to watch their budget, I can’t subscribe to every service that disappears behind the paywall. I have to make choices… I can’t subscribe to Love To Sew (and others) and still spend money on the hobby that inspires me to listen to the podcast… Sewing. Paywalls are popping up everywhere…it may backfire as regulars like me unsubscribe. It’s easy to say it’s just the price of a coffee (they all say that). Just remember that many of us can’t /don’t buy 6$ coffees except as a very occasional treat.
