Episode 112—A Week in the Life of a Sewing Teacher
I'm getting ready for Sew Expo in Puyallup, Washington. Join me for a chat as I talk about how I prepare for my classes, particularly ones I haven't taught before. I'll discuss the difficulties of hunting down accurate information in this age of the Internet and AI and how that can be a huge disadvantage to newbie sewists. There might be a short rant about interfacing. If you've ever been frustrated by inaccurate or conflicting sewing information, you will be comforted by the fact that you're not alone.
