Australia Sews Podcast

Lauren and Erin Ritchie, better known as Two Sewing Sisters, are sisters from Melbourne who love sewing together. Yes, they’re sewing buddies! They live together, sew together, sew each other’s clothes and bounce off each other for creative ideas on what to sew next. It usually comes as a vision. Sometimes quite an ambitious one. But the end result is just breathtaking. After listening to Lauren and Erin, I think you’ll be inspired to give a special occasion dress a crack. You can find out more at their website Two Sewing Sisters.

My guest today is Linda Thorne from the Instagram handle @dressedbysewandsew. Do you love dresses? Linda loves making dresses. In fact, she wears a me-made dress pretty much every day. Even at home on a no make-up Sunday, Linda will wear one of her beautiful floral dresses and never feels overdressed. In her Instagram bio, Linda says she’s a librarian, a tutu maker and a creator of a me-made wardrobe, mostly dresses of course. We talk all about that and more such as why she converted to PDF patterns and how she is giving some of her dresses a new life.
