Sheer Summer Style — Episode 41

---

---

We’re talking about our favorite summer layer – the swimsuit coverup! We’ll talk favorite patterns and fabrics and discuss how to successfully sew sheer fabrics. In our Sew & Tell segment, we address the conversation taking place in the nation and within the sewing community regarding racism and racial injustice.

Note: While we were recording, Amanda was having a sound delay that resulted in a few awkward pauses and some overtalking. Please forgive our rhythm being a bit off in this episode!

A message from Amanda, Meg & Kate:  

In this episode, we’re taking a pause on our standard Sew & Tell format to address the conversation taking place in the nation and within the sewing community regarding racism and racial injustice. If you haven’t taken a moment to dip into the conversation, we encourage you to — it is a deep and moving and important conversation. As three white women, we also urge you to seek out and listen to voices from within the black sewing community. If you’re looking for an additional podcast to add to your list, consider Stitch Please by Lisa of @blackwomenstitch. Watch the @blkmakersmatter space to follow a coalition of makers working for change in the craft industry. And consider following the Black designers and contributors we’ve featured in our magazines.
