- This is one of my favorite sewing podcasts!
The podcast on fitting techniques was excellent. I wish I could attend your upcoming fitting workshop…. Maybe someday! Anyone who attends will gain a wealth of knowledge I am sure!

Wow, I loved the newest episode “The Business of Wool” and would love to hear so much more from both the host and guest. There were so many opportunities for them to expand their conversation. I hope they meet again to follow some of those tangents.

I love this podcast almost as much as I love sewing! I’m new to sewing and I learn something from every single episode, even if I think it won’t apply to me. Thank you Janet for taking the time to help us learn. You’ve enriched my sewing experience more than I can say!
