What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

First off, I like this podcast because, as of episode 38, they don’t do any interviews, which is a breath of fresh air because every other sewing podcast does this, and it’s all the same people so it gets annoying. I chose a podcast because I want to hear from the hosts, not from some stranger. Another reason is because the talk about sewing stays relatively on track and we don’t get a lot of personal discussion. What I think could be done better is the addition of an editor. In nearly every episode, Meg interrupts someone and there’s an awkward pause as they wait for one of them to continue. In one episode, all three of them talked at the same time for an uncomfortable amount of time, and it really stressed me out. Additionally, sometimes when they finish a topic, they won’t have anything to say right away and there will be a long silence. Editing these out would take care of any awkwardness and would make for a more polished product.

I stumbled upon your podcast a few months ago. Sewing has always been my escape but with my lifestyle changes due to the pandemic, it’s become a regular activity. I love listening to your podcast as I sew away usually with a bunny or two at my feet. It’s like sewing with friends. I’m energized by the different topics. Your tone is lively, bubbly, informative and not judge mental. You’ve pushed me to try projects I would have shied away from in the past. Thanks for informing and inspiring. Happy sewing!

These ladies have inspired me to start making clothes again. I even registered for the Burda Academy am am enjoying it very much. I’m catching up on all the past episodes while walking! They have been such great company. I enjoy getting to know them and I feel like I can now finish their sentences. Love the bowl games. I highly recommend this podcast. Keep it up ladies! P.S. I’m really surprised at some of the negative feedback. Slamming them for body shaming and publicly leaving a comment. What a hypocrite!!! It takes a lot of courage (and time) to do what these ladies are doing. It’s not as easy as it looks to put yourself out there and share your personal self (vs. a corporate image). Their diverse personalities and backgrounds make this show even more interesting!

New listener, and went through the whole series. Loved each episode. Meg, Kate, and Amanda have a great mix of sewing talk and tips which is not too complex for an inexpert sewist, but still accessible and inspiring. I highly, highly recommend.

Disappointed to hear body shaming in today’s “fall fashions” episode. Our world doesn’t need that. Sewing should be place of positivity, not proclaiming that “you have to have a certain body type to pull off a certain look.” I have listened to a few shows of this podcast and they often talk over each other a smidge, which interrupts the natural flow of conversation. The three people have different styles and view points, which is unique. Not worth my time to hear body shaming comments about sewing certain styles of types of clothing.
