Episode 16: Threading Through the Trends – What’s Hot in Sewing for 2025

From 90s plaid to visible mending, sewing in 2025 is anything but boring! In this episode of The Sewcial Hour Podcast, Bethany and Audra break down the top sewing and quilting trends shaping the creative world this year: think big bows, functional fashion, sustainable stitching, and a major romantasy aesthetic takeover. ✨
