Tuesday 25 August 2020: I hope you read Emilia’s latest Sewcialist blog post for #allchestswelcome theme month. The topic is the great binder story, part 1. In part 1 of Emilia’s podcast there are so many topics they can cover and we focus on their journey before they started living their truth. At the end of our recording Emilia called part 1, ‘Getting your pronouns right’.

Emilia sets the scene for us regarding wearing binders as they have now come out as non-binary.

Binders are a small thing you can make to help overcome dysphoria that impedes you to function.

Emilia enjoys black outfits, word puns, good tailoring, and transforming their apartment into a greenhouse. When they are not sewing, they are a researcher in the field of Neuroscience. You can find them on IG @emilia_to_nuno and on their blog.

Tuesday 1 September 2020: In Part 2, Emilia tells us their view on sewing pattern terminology that is gender non-conforming. Emilia shares their tips on where to find sewing patterns that suit your gender identity.

Emilia mentions Free Sewing and Elbe Textile patterns. To find resources, they suggest following #sewqueer and #sewnonbinary on Instagram.
