Episode 67—Dispatches From the Sewing Room
Today’s episode is a cozy chat about what’s been happening in my sewing room. Grab your beverage of choice and pull up a comfy chair and join me for a discussion of sewing projects, sewing classes, and what is going on with Joann Fabrics. How has 2025 started out for you? Are you working on the projects you thought you’d be working on or have your plans been derailed? Do you think young people want to learn how to sew? Will you be affected if Joanns goes out of business? Let’s take a few minutes to check in on the state of sewing and where we’re headed.
