This is one of my favorite podcasts. I love to hear about Janet’s teaching and sewing experiences as well as her canning and gardening life not to mention her travel. She’s very down to earth and honest about the challenges of fitting and mistakes that can be made on a project which help keep my spirits up as I sew. Thank you, Janet, for sharing with us, your listeners!
