  1. Love your podcast! I have only recently found you and the three of you make my 45 minute drive to and from work much better! I work as a Family and Consumer Sciences Extension Agent in Kentucky. I encourage you to ask your listeners to contact their local Extension Office and find out how they can volunteer to teach youth through the 4-H program. In Kentucky we have an Extension Office in all 120 counties, but not all states are that lucky. In our 4-H programs we love our volunteers especially those who are willing to share their love of sewing with youth. We have the curricula, the notions, the fabrics, and the machines, we just need sewists who are willing to share their knowledge. Keep up the good work ladies! You are sewing rock stars!
