Sarah of Pattern Union is a big supporter of the Sewover50 community. Today she’s here to talk about visible mending. Sarah lives in Western Australia.

Sarah has been focussing on using her existing resources to focus on visible mending. With her pattern developments, she amassed a lot of fabrics and resources that were no longer useful to her but when she went to take them to the local thrift store, the response from the store was a wake up call to her regarding textile waste.

Special mention to Sue Stoney for her skills in reusing textile resources.

On Instagram you can find SewOver50, Sue Stoney and Sarah Pondevie.

Jeannie of Annie and Myra's is a bra sewing expert from regional Victoria.

Jennie answers a few bra sewing questions so we have more information about sewing bras that fit us using the correct underwires, fabrics and bra notions to suit all skin sensitivities.

She does emphasis her love of couture sewing as she discusses starting on good basic bra patterns and using basic kits you can buy from local online retailers.

Jennie tells us about Free the Girls and their donating bras program.
