Welcome to Homestyle, a podcast from The Daily Advertiser that’s all about life, family and the stories they inspire. Two best friends — Leigh Guidry and Joe Cunningham — host, sharing their hobbies and ideas for family fun. 

This week's guest Christine Savoie, 24, started sewing as a kid in 4-H, and when COVID-19 struck hard in Louisiana, she put that skill to use sewing masks for hospital patients. 

In this episode you'll hear:

--Christine, a graduate student at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, talks about how she started sewing and how that journey has looked;

--how she began sewing masks for area hospital patients in March;

--how sewing connects her to her family;

--and some of her favorite projects over the years.
