Do you get overwhelmed when you try to search for new pattern and fabric ideas? Well if you do you are not alone. Lots of the dressmakers I speak to say that they can find it challenging to stay on top of the new pattern designers and fabric shops that are popping up all the time.

So I was doing a bit of my own research to find out what I could do to help and I came across In A Haystack. This a digital subscription service that does all the legwork for you and each month presents you with a focused themed pack that includes a digital sewing pattern and so much more.

I was intrigued and so my guest this week is the wonderful Kate, the founder of In A Haystack to tell us all about it.

What you will hear in this episode:

Why Kate set up In A Haystack
What is included in her digital subscription Haystack Packs
How her background as a researcher helps her save you & I time
Examples of what has been included in recent packs
How a monthly focus can help you reduce sewing overwhelm
The benefits of having a monthly digital subscription and how it can boost your creativity
