Sewcializing = sewing + socializing! Today we’re chatting all about the different ways sewists connect online. We cover everything from Instagram etiquette to our favourite Facebook groups. We also confess how many times a day we check Instagram, and how many people we follow! A great episode if you’re new to the sewing community or just looking for a new way to interact with fellow makers.

Listening to this episode made a tedious cutting out session way more fun and thanks for the shout out guys xxx
Yay! Glad to hear it. Thanks for listening!
I’m loving the podcasts. They’re sewingy, fun and yeah, basically I just binged them all while sewing an Ogden cami and tidying up my sewing area. Great saturday! One quick point on sharing and re-posting – with pictures of children, we need to be unequivocal about asking permission (preferably in writing) of the parents. Some kids model their parents’ patterns a lot and we’re really used to seeing them, but it’s worth just underlining that control over their imagine needs to stay with them and their parents. Probably obvious, but I’m sure all you lovely folks won’t mind me mentioning it. Thanks again!
Thank you for your comment! We agree completely about asking permission before sharing kids makes. It certainly doesn’t hurt to re-iterate!
