- One of my favorites
I love this podcast. It features a good range of sewing and fiber arts topics, with a sprinkling of homesteading and community/family life updates. The host is friendly and down to earth. And I greatly appreciate the show’s lack of giddiness and time-wasting that sometimes creep into other podcasts in this genre.

I started listening in Feb 2025 but started at the first episode from 2022 and I am at episode 39. Janet seems to know everything! I don’t think there’s anything she could not figure out how to do!

Her voice is soothing and pleasant to listen to and I am hoping to learn some things through osmosis!!
This is definitely a sewing podcast worthy of your t... more
