Veronica and Gosia recently participated and completed their first test knits ever! Though very grateful for the experience, they share the realities and unexpected challenges along the way. Let's just say the podcast is called "type B" for a reason ;)

What actually happens before a sewing pattern is released to the public? In Episode 55 of The Sewcial Hour, we’re going behind the seams to talk all about pattern testing with two guests who bring very different perspectives to the process: Catherine Holbrook of Bringing Sewing Back, who specializes in garment sewing, and Delia Birch of A Stitch is a Stitch Quilt Co., who designs quilt patterns and provides technical editing services to fellow designers. While the basic purpose of pattern tes...

Send us feedback about this episode! Every sewing machine brand seems to be releasing something new this year—but is any of it actually new, or just a new box for the same machine? We round up what's genuinely changed across sewing machines, sergers, and coverstitch machines from every major brand, brand by brand, so you can hear what's real without wading through marketing copy yourself.

Needlepoint has its own language—and when we first started stitching, we definitely didn’t know all of it (and may have pronounced a few things wrong along the way!).In this episode of Oh, Stitched, we're breaking down the needlepoint lingo you’ll hear at your LNS, see all over social media, and encounter as you get deeper into stitching. From mesh counts and needle sizes to WIPs, ORTs, UFOs, frogging, blocking, and the difference between a lowercase-f finish and a capital-F Finish, we’re making

craftcast. com  What if your purpose isn't something you have to find? What if it's something that's been quietly showing up in your life all along? In this episode of CRAFTCAST the Podcast: Where Soul Meets Craft, Patrik and I talk about finding your purpose and whether the clues may have been there much earlier than you realized. For me, the thread goes all the way back to when I was three years old. My grandmother showed me how to knit, and I remember being completely fascinated. But even more

Water makes up most of what’s in your beer, but it rarely gets the same attention as malt, hops, or yeast. This week on Beer In Front, we look at how water has shaped some of the world’s classic beer styles from the soft water of Pilsen to the sulfate-rich water of Burton-on-Trent, and how today’s brewers adjust water chemistry to create everything from crisp lagers to juicy hazy IPAs.Then I visit Old Irving Brewing’s production facility in Chicago for a conversation with Trevor Rose-Hamblin. We

They also get into their

Iron is a vital part of machinery of all sorts, so today we’re going to examine its role in sewing machine history. Not only was it used to make the machines themselves, its physical properties drove the Singer company to push new horizons in global manufacturing.Get ad-free episodes through our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Used2Sew Buy

In this opening episode of our Embodied Empowerment series, Coach Kaila Allen MWSCC unpacks the exhausting societal myth that our human value must be earned through non-stop productivity, people-pleasing, and performing. We explore how conditional self-worth keeps the nervous system trapped in chronic vigilance, and how you can begin treating your worth as an undeniable, pre-paid birthright. Through actionable somatic practices like self-applied soothing touch and signature strengths mapping, you

Episode 18! Hi! Welcome!We start off this episode with a very special shout out and then Elyssa tells us about what’s happening in her mouth.Elyssa has been very busy knitting her New Norma and it is stunning. She ran out of yarn and sped over to Cleo’s for more. She’s also been wearing her Cardi du Coeur and her Pressed Flowers Kerchief.Lydia finished knitting her Scrappy Checkers Sweater! Everyone please clap. She’s super excited to start the Folk People Vest next. We also mention the Jane Vest

Vinted used to feel like the internet version of a Naked Lady party: somebody else’s wrong thing becoming exactly what you needed, for a fiver and postage. Then the pro sellers arrived, the charity-shop stock moved online, and resale started to look less like an exit from fast fashion than another room inside it. A 2025 Yale study found the catch: people who buy second hand frequently also buy more new clothing.So low impact gets practical. Ghost in the Apple Orchard, Brenda’s red vest, is yarn on

This week on Not Your Granny’s Quilt Show, I’m talking with San Francisco-based textile artist Ben Venom, whose work brings together the worlds of counterculture, music, repurposed materials, and traditional textile techniques in a way that is completely his own.Ben grew up in the Atlanta punk rock scene of the 1990s, and while earning his MFA at the San Francisco Art Institute, he began making flags. In 2006, he saw the landmark Gee’s Bend quilt exhibition at the de Young Museum in San Francisco,

From counterfeit markets in Guangzhou to a Songmont boutique in Shenzhen, by way of BYD, DJI, and Xiaomi, I went looking for where China's manufacturing skill turns into something that's actually its own. What I found wasn't the story the headlines tell.This isn't about tariffs or trade politics. It's about the difference between technical mastery and creative identity, and what happens when a country this capable stops copying and starts making things nobody else could make. The
