Cennetta was on the podcast in October 2020 for SewOver50 Thursday. Today this episode is number 6 in the Top 20 Countdown and her podcast has been downloaded over 15,000 times.

Now the great news is Cennetta is teaching sewing at Calumet Middle School in Chicago. The school has established an after-school enrichment program that includes tailoring and sewing, culinary, theatre, music and more. Cennetta says 'It's the best!'

One of the great things about bringing people for you to listen to on Sew Organised Style podcast is that not only do you hear their stories, I stay in contact with them because we share so many life experiences. Cennetta has continually shared her sewing knowledge with me and the sewing community through her generous fitting posts. It's a thrill to know she's now sharing her knowledge with middle school students.

Show notes

Karen Dolen was kind enough to be on the podcast in 2020. Today's episode is the initial podcast about Karen and this is number 10 on the Top 20 Countdown.

Karen has an inspiring sense of style that is reflected in not just what she sews but how her work is photographed too. She does credit her daughter for some of her photos and if you go to the SewOver50 account, Karen was a guest editor sharing her photo skills.

When you look at her sewing progress photos they're just as stunning.

She started sewing 60 years ago and Karen visualises fabric as fashion.

Thank you Karen for your ongoing contribution to Sewover50 and the podcast I hope you had a cuppa at hand while you listen to Karen once more.
