• This show is an extension of my regular sewing blog - Me Encanta Coser - which roughly translated means Enchanted By Sewing. My blog is written in English. The name celebrates the historical and modern use of the beautiful Spanish Language in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, where I live.
Please let me know, by posting below, if you find any links I mentioned in the show, missing from this posting. I find getting all the links in challenging!
Why I find dress sewing enchanting. How I’ve been working on making that enchantment both a time for special occasion sewing, and also a time to add to the practical part of my regular, daily arty-romantic California wardrobe.
Includes reflections on dress fashion history as well as techniques for sewing a fitted facing at a dress neckline.

Laurel, I'm so excited that you have begun a podcast! And what a great job! There are so many good parts, it's hard to choose the best to share with you. But as a vintage Barbie collector and a sewist, I have to say that the reminiscing about Barbie, and the details of making your facing were the top two! Keep up the great work and please continue to share your fashion course info with us, too!
ReplyDeleteHi Martha! Thanks for the nice comments. I'm sorry that I missed them. (I thought I had setup email to do that automatically, and I guess I didn't.)
DeleteI really appreciate you letting me know the parts you especially enjoy and I hope you'll continue to enjoy the show.
I just found your podcast and enjoyed listening to this episode. Do you know our podcast? It's the Twin needle podcast: http://twinneedlepodcast.wordpress.com/
ReplyDeleteHi Maria! I'm sorry I missed seeing your comments. I didn't know about your podcast and I went right out to look for it, and download the first two episodes that caught my eye. I particularly like the way you title them in a manner reminiscent of the "Friends" t.v. show (or is that just me who sees it that way?)
DeleteThe cross-borders thing you have going for you is really neat. I like to be a world traveller whether I actually take a plane somewhere, or whether I"m walking around town, meeting and talking to people who come from all kinds of other places.
Hope to chat more.
