Customer Reviews
New listener
Found your podcast while searching for something new to listen to. You are just right for me! I’m a quilter but love to venture out and see other things. Your giving me inspiration to do just that. Also like the episode where you provided other podcasts, movies, and music while sewing. Normally I watch Judge Judy while sewing and I know I need to expand my tv life.
Show is great
I’ve enjoyed this show for some time and it’s lovely. Unfortunately all the episodes are suddenly all available only through a subscription. I completely agree people should be paid for their work. I’m just not able to pay $5/month for every show I follow. I’m so sorry to unfollow, but for those whose priority is sewing, this is a wonderful podcast hosted by two very knowledgeable sewists.
Such a treat
For the creative side of my brain
