Tuesday 7 March 2023: Ronda Hazell is Anakiequilter and we’re bringing her story to you in 2 episodes this time.

Ronda’s story is more than just sewing. In this episode Ronda talks about how she’s kept herself occupied and creative at times when she was working in Tasmania during her engineering studies.

Her mother allowed Ronda to take her sewing machine with her during the Summer break.

Ronda’s grandmother bought Ronda her first sewing machine as a wedding gift.

Next week Ronda discusses SewOver50 and sewing patterns designed for mature bodies like Stoxk Patterns.

Tuesday 14 March 2022: Ronda is back to discuss the good work SewOver50 does to raise the visibility of older sewists on Instagram.

There are some great Indie pattern companies that are focussing on raising awareness of mature sewists like Lindy of Stokx patterns.
