Love to Sew Podcast A Free Mini-Episode for All of our Listeners
Every month on Patreon, we release a mini-episode for our patrons at the "Love to Sew Superfan" level! These episodes are short versions of our main episodes. We have done episodes on sewing techniques, fabric deep dives, and pattern ideas. We often make episodes based on questions or topics from our patrons! Patrons at this level also get 15% off discount codes to Helen's Closet and Blackbird Fabrics. In this free mini-episode, we share five methods for making a dress form that looks just like you! We also discuss the pros and cons of each method, talk about how sewists use dress forms, and admit our fears of getting trapped in duct tape. If you like this mini-episode and want more, consider supporting us on Patreon! Click the link below to sign up. Our patrons are the reason we are able to make quality sewing content. Thank you, patrons!
