• This podcast episode is dedicated to Lori Van Monan, a mother who has influenced my sewing, blogging and podcasting tremendously. Lori is the creator and producer of the long time Sew Forth Now Podcast, as well
as the Girls in the Garden Blog, which she continues to host. Lori (who recently became a grandmother !) continues to sew
for her four daughters, who are now young women. She also often shares ways that
her mother and grandmother influenced her sewing. Thanks again for sew much inspiration Lori!
Daughter Kristen and her mother Tammy are sewing cohorts and classmates in the Cañada Fashion Sewing Program |
In celebration
of Mother’s Day… Laurel reflects on her own experiences with mother-daughter
sewing. She also finds out that this relationship doesn’t always fit into a
traditional pattern. This conversation with sewing cohorts, who happen to be
related, may surprise you as much as it did the show hostess.
• In this month's podcast I spoke with daughter Kristen, and her mother Tammy in the Cañada Fashion Sewing Program lab. In the illustration on the left, Kristen is wearing the dress she sewed for class, that we talk about in the 'cast. Below you'll find the alteration Kristen made to the sleeves she wasn't happy with.
