This week, I’m chatting to my friend Sarahbeth Larrimore, the wonder-woman behind Unabashed Apparel. The mantra for her work says it all: “Empowering women to design & sew. Our bodies are worthy of our finest frocks, just as they are.” Um, yes please!Sarahbeth and I had a juicy conversation about personal style and the benefits of sewing for self-expression, creativity and body acceptance. I know next to nothing about sewing, but by the end of this episode Sarahbeth had me completely convinced I should start stitching my own wardrobe - and I bet you’ll feel the same! Things we talk about in this episode: * How sewing and clothing design can be empowering in unexpected ways * Sarahbeth’s Queen Robe Project (enrolling now!), and how anyone can learn to sew * The differences between historical garments and modern made clothes * How clothes impact our body image and self worth * The role of sewing and mending for sustainability and customisation * My collection of vintage French under-dresses, and my upcoming collection of them for sale * The stories our clothes can tell about us as they age and change Links we mention in this episode: * Sarahbeth’s Instagram * Sarahbeth’s Queen Robe Project (enrolling now!) * Sarahbeth’s post on mending, and sustainable fashion * Sarahbeth’s Website, Unabashed Apparel * Sarahbeth’s Substack * My upcoming collection of vintage French nightdresses * My coaching page, where you can book now for January availability Thanks for listening and following along!
