Customer Reviews
Unpopular sewing opinions
Love this episode, one for me that id love you hear an episode on is” seam allowances” I hate that most patterns have a 5/8 inch seam allowance! It’s a waste of using extra fabric, and even if you trim its bulky! I much prefer 1/4-1/2 inch . I’d love to know how to easily grade down seam allowances in standard patterns while accounting for fit.
Disorganized
Wish I could have learned something new about the subject, i.e.-Sewing…even when they did stay on topic it seemed like nervous rambling or chit chat.
Pass on this.
Not impressive
It’s not just that’s these women don’t know very much, it’s that they don’t even try. No research or thought goes into these pods, or even any idea that sewing and textiles are ancient crafts with long histories to draw from. It’s all Me And My Credit Card, that’s the only song they can sing. Buy this from our friends!
The worst was “zero waste sewing”, a subject humans figured out as they created the first textiles. Waste and scraps are a product of the Industrial Revolution, and these women have no idea what that is, or that textiles jump started it, or that natural fibers compost but polyesters are plastic so avoid them.
In a well run sewing room scraps have uses, but that’s a secret from these people as well as the facts that producing the fabric does the harms, not a few scraps. Polyesters come from the toxic sludge at oil refineries.
The breaking point though? One of these girl children moaning about how her carpenter boyfriend “with wood at least he doesn’t have to worry about the grain”.
Really?
