Summary: In this episode I share my top 6 reasons why I think you should learn to sew your own clothes. I go over the fun reasons, the practical reasons and the ethical reasons why sewing your own clothes is awesome. I also share some of our Facebook friends’ reasons why they sew their own clothing. This episode gets a bit dark when we go over the ethics of clothing manufacturing so you might want to just skip over reasons 3 & 4 if your wanting to stick more to the happy fun parts of sewing The documentary I mentioned is called The True Cost. You can learn more about that here: http://truecostmovie.com/ I think this video on crayons is probably the one I watched as a kid, but looking back on it, it actually does have a lot of people involved in the process. Don’t they all look super happy though?
