In recognition of Black History Month, we are rereleasing this podcast to recognise the black sewists in the Sewover50 community. Carol's podcast was published in July 2020 and listeners love her work and her sewing journey.

Carol or Anncie2001, is our next Sewover50 stalwart that kindly gave her time for this podcast. Her sewing story is compelling and heartwarming.

You'll hear Carol's excitement when she took her first sewing classes. She's sewn for her son and is proud of the clothes she made him. That's why her tailoring skills are embedded in her tutorials and sewing advice. Keep an ear out for her Elmo robe story.

Autumn Sewing Celebration Feb 07, 2021

Show notes

This is the first online sewing conference style event developed by the Australian Sewing Guild (ASG).

In 2020 the ASG worked hard and developed online workshops and sewing challenges to further people's sewing skills.

Early bird tickets are available to the first 125 participants when tickets go on sale today. There are 14 presenters from a range of industries and practices to keep ASG members interest both on the day and for 6 months after this event. The big plus is the presenters will be available on the day to take audience questions at the time their video presentations are launched.

There is a live Zoom presentation with Pam Holland and at the end of the day there is a live Zoom celebration for all participants and presenters to round off such a huge day for everyone.

Don't feel alone while you watch each presentation as you sew your own projects at home. There will be ASG volunteers to give you a virtual hand or advice on the day #askasghelp.

Participants will also get a virtual show bag with discounts from industry partners and our presenters.

Make sure you can make it to the cocktail hour at the end of the Autumn Sewing Celebration. Participants will receive recipes for ASG named cocktails and mocktails as well as a marsala chai tea recipe. Come celebrate with your online sewing friends on 27 March 2021. We hope to see you there.

#bhmpatterndesigners Feb 01, 2021

Show notes

The Black History Month Pattern Designer Challenge (#BHMPatternDesigners) was established in February 2019 by Nateida of SewNaturalDane. Nateida decided to created this challenge due to the lack of representation she saw in the sewing community that highlighted Black Pattern Designers, as well as black owned fabric companies and knitting designers. February is Black History Month in the United States and it's also Nateida's birthday month!

Rule 1: must tag both Nateida (SewNaturalDane) and Keira (IslandSewcialist) on Instagram and you must use the hashtag #BHMPatternDesigners in order for your entry to be counted. If you do not tag SewNaturalDane or IslandSewcialist AND use the hashtag your entry will not be counted.

Rule 2: use any pattern from a black designer

Rule 3: your make must be made and completed in February 2021
