What if a sewing machine could change someone’s life?

In this episode of the Home Comfort Zone Podcast, Theresa sits down with Margaret Jankowski, founder and director of The Sewing Machine Project, a Madison, Wisconsin-based nonprofit celebrating 20 years of impact.

Margaret shares the powerful story that sparked the organization after the 2004 tsunami, how thousands of donated sewing machines have been distributed across the country, and how sewing builds more than skills — it builds confidence, income, creativity, and community.

From refugee resettlement programs to women’s shelters and local library mending events, this episode highlights how one simple tool can create connection and opportunity.
