A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
I feel like an insider to their conversations but I’m still apart of them. I don’t know them but if we ever meet, it’s going to feel weird feeling like a stranger because I’ve been brought into their lives! I really enjoy the variety of content and the insights they provide as professionals. I would consider myself an adventuresome experienced novice and knowing that other people mess up too is reassuring. I was even sewing and thinking about intentionally skipping a step when they were talking about how easy it is to think you don’t need a step and that it turns out is is important down the line - in that moment, I felt so seen! I enjoy each episode and hope to continue listening for a long time to come.

I get a lot of laughs from listening to this podcast. I also get a lot of help with my sewing. I also get inspired and my sewing mojo refreshed. I love all the personal stories along with the viewers stories. So relatable. I will definitely try contributing and supporting. You two ladies are great! Thank you.

Helen and Caroline always make my day. Definitely a feel good podcast that I come back to when I need sewing help or just to listen to these great friends chat.

The episode on velvet and corduroy was so timely. After listening while traveling I came home and my BF corduroy order had arrived! As many times as I have sewn on corduroy I did learn some things. I’m glad I heard it before diving into my project. Thank you !

Interesting topics (that are wedged in between nonsense like The Bachelor) but the nonstop giggling, the childish use of the word “like” before every word and the California girl singsongy cadence is so distracting that the content is lost. Could be a great show if hosted by professional adults.
