Salt & Tar: Ep.164- Learning to Sew

We have so many to thank for helping us with materials for this project! It took, of course, longer than I thought to get the hang of it but mostly that was just finding the right head space. Not being too overcritical and being okay with it not being perfect the first time but not giving up and tackling it from a different angle. Garrett was very supportive of me figuring this one out on my own and willing to help whenever I asked. He cut all of the foam for me and helped with making the patterns, but more on that next week. I needed to first complete a few start to finish before I could even film, which Garrett also helped me with. We’re using a Reliable Barracuda sewing machine and most all of our supplies came from Amazon. I’ll try my best to add any links here of frequently asked questions/products. Thanks for watching this one as it’s a little different from our typical episode.

Cheers,
Ruthie
