  • Best Podcast Ever

    This podcast is super entertaining as well as informative. As a super beginner, so I have learned a lot of neat tips and tricks as well as some fundamental things I was doing wrong in the beginning. I love the dynamic between Moira and Jenny. I enjoy the side quest conversation, I feel like I am hanging out with two friends every time I listen. I look forward to listening every week ❤️❤️❤️

  • Fun chats

    I came here from Punk Frockers and had to adjust to Jenny without Beverly. I’m sewing less and often listen to a podcast for a good chat. As a mom of adult kids, I appreciate the banter and points of view from both Jenny and Moira. Thanks!

  • If you listened to Jenny's other podcast Punk Frockers, this is a little less sewing focused than that, but still a fun time listening to two hosts chatting: one host bringing the fun and chaos and the other bringing the calm and focus. But in InSewmniacs it's Jenny who's the chill host bringing them back to the episode topic and her daughter Myra brings the "you never know what you'll get, but it's always interesting/entertaining" vibe!

  • This is my sewing Novella!

    I love this podcast. I love their mother daughter dynamic, the sewing bits and the ongoing stories of their lives and makes. I never miss an episode.

    ADDENDUM Moira. They’re wrong. You’re wonderful. Let’s all be ourselves. And maybe be nicer to each other. Certainly be nicer to Moira! Or listen to something else.

  • Moira appreciation review

    After the show a few weeks back, I felt compelled to write a review saying how much an enjoy the show, especially Moira. The sewing content is great, and the mother daughter banter is delightful in large part due to Moira.
