About this episode
More people, especially people under 45, are turning to sewing their own clothes. Globally, sewing machine sales are on the rise, expected to double by 2035, representing a nearly 2 billion dollar industry. The Current producer, Amanda Grant, explores the common threads in sewing culture, why people are embracing it, how to find modern patterns, and how sewing is part of slow fashion.
