This week on "Stitch Please", Lisa chats with Shams El-din Rogers about the wild world of sewing machines—are pricier models worth it, or can thrifty treasures do the trick? Together, they dive into sustainable sewing, the allure of vintage machines, and Shams’ knack for giving old gear new life. From tackling the "replace-it" culture to the ethics of consumer choices, the duo stitches together a thoughtful conversation about the impact of what we buy (or don’t). They also sprinkle in tips on mending, repairing, and why sewing can be the ultimate act of rebellion. Tune in for laughs, insights, and a fresh take on creative consumerism!
