  • Long time listener - who gave it a break as topics were uninteresting - only to come back & I can't get past the amount of virtue signalling. Sadly I think I'm unsubscribing. Not everything needs to be politicised, can't we just talk about sewing?

  • New sewing friends that I don’t know

    I feel like an insider to their conversations but I’m still apart of them. I don’t know them but if we ever meet, it’s going to feel weird feeling like a stranger because I’ve been brought into their lives!

I was even sewing and thinking about intentionally skipping a step when they were talking ... more

  • Poor execution

    Interesting topics (that are wedged in between nonsense like The Bachelor) but the nonstop giggling, the childish use of the word “like” before every word and the California girl singsongy cadence is so distracting that the content is lost. Could be a great show if hosted by professional adults.

  • We’re so different…but I love you!

    I love this podcast! I follow and regularly listen to about 15 sewing and textile podcasts but this is the one I couldn’t do without. I have almost diametrically opposite tastes to Helen and Caroline - I loved the Modern Socialite style most of all the Spring trends; I love neutrals and hardly ever wear prints; I hate seventies styles; when it comes to Patreon - I don’t go near gaming or board games and I watch very little TV (won’t forget Helen saying she didn’t trust people who didn’t like wat... more
