Fantastic

I have listened to this podcast for a while now and recently became a subscriber because the podcast is simply a mine of information, both practical and for all topics sewing and fabric related. This most recent episode with Bernadette Banner just blew my mind! I have her book and am now off to subscribe to the YouTube channel! I do quite a bit of handsewing, especially for finishing garments and buttons. My absolute favourite thimble is a leather one. If you are looking for linen thread try the French company Maison Sajou. Sajou.fr. The website is also in English. Keep up the excellent work ladies!
