  • Diving is in as a beginner

    I’m just beginning my MYOG journey and have found this podcast incredibly helpful especially the episodes with Matt from Red Paw.

As I’ve listened to past episodes, I’ve picked up lots of great nuggets about fabrics you’ve used for specific projects, but it would be amazing to hear a big-picture breakdown of what’s available, the best use cases for each fabric, and what you persona... more

  • Smart, practical, entertaining

    This is one of the few podcasts I’ve ever heard that’s fun without being in any way frivolous. The topics and questions are well thought out and hit a huge range of needs and abilities. In many cases, it’s info you simply can’t get anywhere else. If you’re in any way sewing or gear adjacent, this is just a must listen.

  • MYOG Pretty good to Great

    It is so great have a resource of real MYOG learners. This pod is not presented in a “I know how to do it…so do this” kind or format. Rather it is from real life trials and learning from mistakes.

    This pod makes a community of MYOGers accessible at a distance.

    Thanks to you Rippers, It’s so helpful to hear the successes and failures as I am on my MYOG journey!!
