Gabriele and Julie met via Instagram when Julie needed help with using Instagram functions to create stories they way Gabriele makes. 

You've heard from Gabriele and Julie on earlier podcasts. This is part 1 of their story as SewOver50 sewing friends.

Sewing is the thread that brought them together. They're friendship has continued through their shared values and interests.

There is more to Gabriele and Julie's story. Make sure you go back and listen to all the SewOver50 podcast. SewOver50 intersects with all communities.

Nancy Chen Bajraktari of @iusedtobeacurtin is back on the podcast with her friend Julia Cost of @juliaallissoncost, as we look at how online friendships develop. Nancy and Julia talk about some great insights that listeners will easily identify with.

Nancy is a sewist who lives on O’ahu for the last year and she enjoys print mixing and upcycling clothing. This feeds her obsession with vibrant prints and exploring all sewing possibilities. Julia Cost is a painter and textile designer born, raised, and based on Maui.

Within the online sewing community such as Sewover50, people become friends through their love of sewing. Sewing is our common interest and once you start chatting online, many people become friends for all sorts of reasons and in many countries. We’re hoping this podcast can be the start of an ongoing podcast series about online sewing friendships.
