Description
Zoe Edwards joins us again! This time, we covered sustainable sewing and lots of things in between. I've asked Zoe to help me while I'm still quite new to sewing, to get a good foundation to a more sustainable sewing practice. From learning how to choose patterns to fit your body so you will get the most wear out of them -always the most sustainable option after not getting or making anything at all- and discussing different fabrics, you’ll learn a lot in this episode!

Some of them.. they’re not gunna fit so well to your body and you’re gunna have to do a bit of work to make it fit. So always, always, always measure yourself before you start a new project.” They’re just numbers. They don’t mean anything.CONNECT WITH ZOEHer podcast: https://checkyourthread.com/Her blog: https://sozowhatdoyouknow.blogspot.com/The first time she was on A Smaller Life: https://www.ja-wol.com/blogs/podcast/34-zoe-edwards-from-the-check-your-thread-podcast-on-me-made-mayAbout her annual 4-week challenge, Me Made May https://sozowhatdoyouknow.blogspot.com/p/about-me-made-may.htmlThe next BBBC Cohort starts Februari 2023.
