Chit Chat

In this episode, I read a recent negative review on itunes about my podcast. It was a 2 star rating and the review was not good. The reviewer said that I ramble too much and was disappointed that the “episode” started 23 minutes into the podcast. I respond to this review in the podcast. If you have been a long time listener of my podcast, you know that I alternate guest episodes with solo episodes. The reviewer was not familiar with my long form format, and was not aware that in my solo episodes, the entire episode can be chit chat….or as the reviewer called it…”too much rambling”.

I am fortunate that this is my first 2 star written review on itunes in 4 years of podcasting. However, I am taking the reviewer’s criticism in stride. Maybe more of you think the same thing, but have graciously not publicly posted it. I need more feedback to see if I need to improve on the format of my podcast by cutting down the chit chat on my solo episodes. So, please take a few minutes to email or DM me with your feedback.

History of the Sewing Pin

It is of no surprise to me to find out that the straight pin or sewing pin has been around since pre-historic times. The sewing pin has taken on many forms and made of many materials, from thorns, to ivory to bronze to stainless steel. The form of the sewing pin has not changed very much throughout the centuries. It is one of those necessities that needs no design changes, other than how it is made today from strong stainless steel.

We may not use sewing pins as often as in the past, due to the awesome invention of the “wonder clip”, but we will always need sewing pins… you cannot clip two fabrics together from the center of the fabric.

Below are photos of sewing pins throughout history up to the present. Click on photos for links.
