Wanted to let you know how impressed I am that you have birth control seller as a vendor. I have NEVER heard birth control advertised anywhere ever. EVER! Yet control of our bodies is the most important issue for women. Congratulations to you for getting this sponsor and congratulations to your sponsor for choosing to advertise with you. If I was of child bearing years, I would purchase their product! Also, I am so pleased to see young women such as you promoting feminist viewpoints-as an almost 60 year old, I feel like I’ve gone through about 20 years where women refused to identify as feminists. Now that seems to be ending, thank goodness. Keep it up!
One the issue of sewing and what I would like to hear on your podcast, I am interested in what your recommendations are for patterns and fabrics, on where to buy fabric on line, and even maybe a review of the retail fabric shops in Vancouver. I like to hear what you are sewing, any trials and tribulations with a pattern or a fabric, all the kinds of tips a home sewer appreciates. I have been sewing for 30 years but am only now learning about on line resources so its a big learning curve. So much to look at! And now I’ve discovered podcasts so I have so much to listen to while sewing. Thanks for listening and thanks so much for your show.
Suzanne, thank you so much for your positive feedback on our sponsorship! We are grateful to support these great brands! As for sewing resources, you are so right, there are so many online. We have taken note of your suggestion to consider in our future episode planning. We talk more about our personal sewing projects and making on our bonus episodes on patreon.com/lovetosew, if you are interested! It is a subscription paid service which supports the podcast if you weren’t already aware! Thank you so much for your support, Suzanne, and happy sewing!
Hi, Helen & Caroline!
I really love your podcast! I look forward to it every week and I’m excited when my “friends” show up in my podcast feed.
I’ve left my address several times to receive your new wardrobe planner. It says I need to confirm you email address in the email that was sent. I’ve never received the confirmation email. I’ve check my spam folder but it isn’t there either.
Have a wonderful new year. I’m looking forward to what you’ll be doing in the new year.
Diane
