Used2Sew
Hosted by Used2Sew · EN
"Used2Sew" is an entertaining podcast about one of the most important inventions to impact American lives outside of the automobile: the sewing machine.
Mother-daughter team TR and Aradia will be talking about sewing machines, sewing history, and sewing culture in the past and present. With comedic timing and far-ranging references, we will explore topics including (but not limited to) textiles, technology, transportation, industry, women, business, home sewing, social movements, politics, and the impacts of fast fashion. We will also talk a lot about vintage sewing machines with an emphasis on the Singer company, plus detours into the commercial and industrial textile world. There will also be personal Tales of Sales from when TR worked for Singer, and fun contests and calls to action.
Stay threaded!

Nov 3, 202400:52:09Tap to summarizeWelcome back to Used2Sew, where it’s time to talk about rural electrification! ZZZZT! The motorization of gadgets wasn’t possible until every house could reasonably be expected to have power, though it took a while to make sure that power wasn’t more of a hazard than help. This topic is so large that we broke it into two parts; this week we talk about electricity in general, and next week we’ll get into how it relates to sewing machines in particular.
