#201: Making Check Your Thread – with Zoe & Kat, Part 2
Are you ready for a second dose of behind the scenes podcast and sewing chat? Guest interviewer Kat Camfield and I continue our conversation. We get into the joys of Patreon and how it’s evolved for creators, what my own favourite podcasts to listen to are (none of which are about sewing!) and what my favourite sewing snack is (spoiler: it’s actually a liquid!). Plus! Kat has a surprise for me… Kat Camfield is a sewing teacher and sewing retreat organiser living in Victoria, Canada. You can follow Kat on Instagram @cooperativekatsews.  Hear Kat on previous episodes of CYT: Ep. #196: Eco Printing - Kat Camfield with Carly from Lorelei Textile Design Ep. #200: Making Check Your Thread - with Zoe & Kat, Part 1 Author Mary Morton got in touch with her co-author Jeanna Wigger after hearing her on an episode of CYT. Together they wrote the amazing book ‘Stitch it, Don't Ditch it’. Hear them talk to me about the experience here: Ep. #191: Stitch It, Don’t Ditch It with Mary Morton and Jeanna Wigger You can find Check Your Thread on Instagram, @checkyourthread. Please head over and say hi! Podcasts I listen to regularly: The Adam Buxton Podcast Death, Sex & Money Heavyweight The Secrets Hotline  Savage Lovecast  The sewing machine I have is a Janome DKS30 (in orange): The previous guests who kindly submitted a comment to celebrate the 200th episode milestone are: Numba Pinkerton Skye Pennant  Jeanna Wigger Meg Grandstaff
