#53 - Zoe Edwards helps me with the foundation for a more sustainable sewing practice

Send us Fan MailZoe 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! MAIN TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE on the show-notes page (link below)LINKSSewing Patterns for Bigger Bodies, shared by Zoe:Cashmerette - https://www.cashmerette.com/collections/cashmerette-patternsMuna and Broad - https://www.munaandbroad.com/collections/patternsGOTS Certification - stands for Global Organic Textile Standards, Learn More at https://global-standard.org/QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE“Every company has its own “sample size”-- its own set of proportions that they work to. 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.htmlSupport the show☆ other ways to SUPPORT THE SHOW ☆If you appreciate the free content and the work we put into this podcast, consider showing your support in a way that feels right to you.
