GUEST: AIMS, INDY BINDY FABRICS

Aims is the owner and curator of her online shop, Indy Bindy Fabrics and is based in Australia. Aims partners with fabric artists and designers (mostly from Japan) and sells their beautiful fabrics. These fabrics are truly artisan designed and made in small produced quantities that are often one off’s which also makes these fabrics very special to be able to sew with.

Aims is a very accomplished sewist and has been sewing since she can remember. In recent years, Aims introduced Indy Bindy Sewciety, a private member group for people who love to sew garments. She opens up membership a few times a year and then closes it so that the group benefits from a small community atmosphere with plenty of interaction with Aims herself along with monthly guest speakers via zoom. She also hosts a monthly live for the members and really cheers them on with inspiration and keeps to sewing mojo going!

I learned so much in our conversation and hope that you enjoy it as well!

CHIT CHAT WITH STEPHANIE

The great 2024 solar eclipse! Here is my best photo - you can see the moon’s silhouette - it shows a faint shadow, but definitely there right smack in front of the sun 🌞🌒

I have finished three mini quilts with the epp flower and hand quilting, and have moved onto the new knitting project I talked about a couple episodes ago.  The Sag Harbor Wrap pattern - The wrap is a summer weight wrap make with Tahki osprey yarn, which is a lightweight cotton blend yarn.  https://www.yarn.com/products/tahki-yarns-sag-harbor-wrap-pdf
