Customer Reviews
Obsessed!
The content on this podcast is so good. Having just discovered this podcast a few months ago, I would binge-listen to the episodes and some of them I go back to to relisten. My favorites are the Zero Waste episode, and ones that speak to racial, environmental and social justices. Thankful to the Asian Sewist Collective for representing Asian voices and doing so in such a responsible and beautiful way. I learned so much about how to be a better sewist (and human!). Can’t wait to listen to all the new episodes this year!
One of my favorites!
I just stumbled on this podcast. It’s great! Please come back!
Highly recommended
The perfect combination of sewing fun and learning important topics impacting the Asian community.
