Ronda Hazell's story started in June 2024 when an echocardiogram showed she had a dilated ascending aorta (a dilation is a bulge where the diameter of the aorta gets bigger when it is more than 1.5 times normal size it is called an aneurysm). This is a life-threatening medical condition because larger aneurysms can rupture or dissect. Aortic disease is linked to problems with the aortic valve of the heart. Ronda has regular check-ups with a cardiologist to monitor her heart and aneurysm size. Finding good medical help was difficult but it is there. Having the issues she's been facing discussed will help more of women find good medical diagnosis and help. Heart disease for women is different. SewDoItForHeart25 is a way to showcase people in the sewing community who integrate hearts into their projects to raise awareness that heart disease for women exists and is different.

Coastal Sewcial
Lou and Lynn organise Coastal Sewcial. They met through a local sewcial called Sew-Toon. Tamlyn who runs Sew-Toon helped Lou and Lynn borrow some equipment when they first started Coastal Sewcial. Coastal Sewcial is run onsite at a charity and the bonus for the sewists is there is an onsite cafe there as well. The location is by the sea hence the 'coastal' part of their group's name. If you're thinking about setting up a sewing sewcial in your area, you can listen or watch Lou and Lynn as they discuss what they're done to create this group. Shout out to Judy Williment-Ross.

Claire-Louise Hardie
Claire-Louise Hardie shares her clothes cloning experience in her latest book - Clone Your Clothes. Claire-Louise is a career costumer. All the images Claire-Louise refers to are on the podcast website and on the YouTube version of this podcast. Creating clothes for productions means she is constantly ensuring costumes are created for productions in multiples and to last the production run. This means she constantly created clothes by cloning style for the purposes of each production. Claire-Louise was the Sewing Producer for the first 4 series of The Great British Sewing Bee. In 2015 Claire-Louise went to the London College of Fashion and to complete her Masters in Pattern Technology and Garment Technology. One of her group assignments was to create a toile of a Balanciaga garment so she used her years of training to create this toile that was then part of the exhibit! In Cloning Your Clothes, Claire-Louise shares her technical knowledge and provides us with 3 methods to clone those clothes that we love but can't find in the shops anymore. All the video links and materials Claire-Louise mentions are on the podcast website. If you are able, consider supporting this podcast through our patreon account.
