Today’s episode is a fascinating conversation with Anne Graham, a seasoned seamstress specializing in repairing clothing for Patagonia. Her work for Patagonia is a fulfilling second career that has taught her much about sewing, people, and sustainability. 

Anne discusses the challenges and joys of extending the lifespan of outdoor apparel, emphasizing the importance of reducing waste. Her insights into the techniques she employs, such as darning, patching, and innovative stitching methods, provide a glimpse into the craftsmanship that goes unnoticed but plays a crucial role in Patagonia's mission to reduce its environmental footprint. Her passion for her work and dedication to quality craftsmanship offer a refreshing perspective on how small actions can lead to significant changes.
