Description

- Do you love sewing, AND are passionate about fighting the climate and ecological crises?
- Are you wondering if your sewing could be made more sustainable?
- Do you want to enjoy your creative passion in a way that really reflects your values?

Join Zoe Edwards, a sewing nerd and creator of Me-Made-May, on her journey to explore how to sew (and live!) more sustainably.
In this podcast we discover ways to sew with sustainability in mind, by flexing our creativity and resourcefulness in new and exciting ways. Check Your Thread’s goal is to show that sewing more sustainably can be fun and fulfilling, (HOLD the side order of guilt, eco-snobbery and FOMO.)

Topics covered include:
-Mending and garment repair
-Upcycling and refashioning
-Natural fabric dyeing
-Fibre and fabric selection
-Slow stitching
-Zero Waste sewing patterns
-The social and political dimensions of sewing
