Sew & Tell Throwback: When Sewing Sparks Fly — Episode 5
In between episodes of Sew & Tell, we’re releasing our favorite episodes from the past. This episode is packed with our tried-and-true patterns — a few years old now, but all the more tried and true for the intervening years! We hope you’ll listen along and answer the Sew & Tell question to share the patterns you make over and over.
|Sponsored| Do you have a pattern you sew again and again? We do! Learn about Meg, Amanda and Kate’s tried-and-true patterns and maybe discover something to add to your repertoire. Plus, play along with our Sewing Controversy and Trend Lightning Round.
