This Check Your Thread Podcast episode #54 is the first of two featuring a conversation with Swedish-Australian designer Birgitta Helmersson.
Known in the sewing community as a zero waste (ZW) pattern designer, Birgitta also produces a range of ZW clothing which she sells from her shop/studio in Malmö. Prior to this, Birgitta had a diverse and convoluted career in fashion design, costume, alterations, pattern cutting and garment manufacture, which makes for a fascinating tale that we’ll hear in this episode. We also learn what sparked her interest in ZW design, the route she took to adopting ZW practices in her own business, and why Birgitta transitioned into producing sewing patterns for her designs as well as physical garments.

A behind the scenes chat with Zoe Edwards. Her sewing podcast Check Your Thread keeps her motivated. Actually her manifesto is what drives Zoe's podcast.
What drives your podcast?
Everyone wants to podcast about a topic that is close to their hearts. That's what both Zoe and I do every week and in this episode we chat on about the processes behind making a sewing podcast, or any podcast for that matter.
As always in this episode I've edited it so you hear Zoe's personal dedication to her podcast as it fulfills much of her manifesto. Any new podcast Zoe may develop in the future will also fulfill the aspects of her very personal manifesto. She's really interesting to listen to and learn from.

Zoe Edwards has just finished a very successful Me Made May 2024. She's here to Feed swap from her podcast Check your thread. 
We're sharing one podcast episode next week from our own archives. This is really exciting to know 1 episode from Sew Organised Style will forever be available on Check your thread podcast.
However this week we're playing a variation on '20 questions'.
In today's episode, we delve into the feedswapping concept.
I've never heard about feedswapping and I am thankful to Zoe for proposing this entertaining initiative, which is our focus today.
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to listen to both of our podcasts. We have each edited the same recording in our unique styles.
As a heads up, you'll realise that our version of '20 questions' will be included in the next podcast with Zoe 'BTS podcasting life'.
Many people want to podcast and our podcast experience will help you understand how the hard work behind the scenes using much of our sewing time and has its rewards.

Dell is an avid sewist, a SewOver50 follower and a very supportive listener of this sewing podcast.
She learned to sew from her grandmothers and Dell discusses the value of the sewing teaching by Mary Brooks Picken.
Dell saved lots of money sewing her dresses for vocal performances using Bemberg lining because it was more affordable than silk fabric was. She is a classically trained vocalist...like an opera singer.
