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.

Sarah Pondevie is presenting at the Australian Sewing Guild's first online Autumn Sewing Celebration on 27 March 2021. This podcast is a replay of Sarah's original podcast she published in August 2020. You'll get the chance to ask Sarah questions at the Autumn Sewing Celebration and have access to all the presentations for 6 months.

The Autumn Sewing Celebration is the first online sewing conference style event developed by the Australian Sewing Guild (ASG).

In 2020 the ASG worked hard and developed online workshops and sewing challenges to further people's sewing skills - a great sewing community asset.

There are 14 presenters from a range of industries and practices to keep ASG members interest both on the day and for 6 months after this event. The big plus is the presenters will be available on the day to take audience questions at the time their video presentations are launched.

There is a live Zoom presentation with Pam Holland and at the end of the day there is a live Zoom celebration for all participants and presenters to round off such a huge day for everyone.

Don't feel alone while you watch each presentation as you sew your own projects at home. There will be ASG volunteers to give you a virtual hand or advice on the day #askasghelp.

Participants will also get a virtual show bag with discounts from industry partners and our presenters.

Make sure you can make it to the cocktail hour at the end of the Autumn Sewing Celebration. Participants will receive recipes for ASG named cocktails and mocktails as well as a marsala chai tea recipe. Come celebrate with your online sewing friends on 27 March 2021. We hope to see you there.
