Tune in to episode 60 of The Straight Stitch Podcast!
Recently, I had the opportunity to talk to Janet Szabo for The Straight Stitch, a podcast about sewing and other fiber arts. We had a wonderful discussion about bag making, and I'm excited to share it with you all! You can listen here on The Straight Stitch website or on your favorite podcast app.
December 3, 2024 – Simply Classic is a company focused on helping sewists to make chic and functional bags for everyday use. Owner Christine Hall Murphy joins me today to talk about her journey from CPA to bag designer and her efforts to bring the art of bag making to home sewists. Simply Classic seeks to educate bag makers through its quarterly subscription program, a robust YouTube channel with tutorials and the weekly Bag Maker’s Workroom Live, and classes and workshops with Chris. Her range of pattern offers something for everyone, from those just beginning to work with leather and heavier materials to those with years of experience.
About The Straight Stitch
Janet Szabo started The Straight Stitch podcast in August 2023. She is an author, educator, and pattern maker who has been knitting and sewing for her entire life. "As a former professional knitting designer-turned-sewist, I know lots of fascinating people all over the textile industry," Janet explains on her website. "I want to bring you their stories."
And that is exactly what The Straight Stitch does! Janet has interviewed interesting people from every corner of the fiber arts world. Episodes cover everything from pattern drafting to bootmaking to sewing history. No matter your sewing experience, you are sure to be inspired and learn something new every episode.
Thank you to Janet Szabo for having me on the show, and thank you all for listening!
