  • new listener: new fan

    I just listened to my

    first episode ,I’m hooked. Dr.Woolfork tied together so many loose ends that I hadn’t been able to connect on my own,in a smart,entertaining and insightful way. I’m a fan. (also a word nerd).

  • Find Your Style

    This was my first listen and boy this was no disappointment! I’m self taught and now I understand fully what my style of learning is. I needed to hear you say that real sewers read the pattern instructions 3 times. Many mistakes would have been avoided had I stuck to this rule. Did not know this podcast existed - I love your simple, well informed explanation. Gonna go back and listen to more!
