Customer Reviews
A new sewing podcast!
This is such an interesting podcast! I enjoyed hearing the two presenters, Johanna and Malena. This first episode talked about the ups and downs of running a sewing business. It’s down to earth, honest and solutions oriented. Both are experienced sewists and really know what they are talking about. It’s not about fashion but gets down to the nitty gritty business of technique and getting a well fitting garment at the end of the project.
I already bought Johanna’s books on Jeans and using a coverstitch machine and I was very happy to see she was launching a podcast. It was nice to meet Malena who is a professional pattern maker and I’m really looking forward to hearing more from them.
