Video: Sewing in Sweden – What’s it really like?

So let’s explore the Swedish sewing culture! In this video, I talk about why baby clothes are a driving force behind the current Swedish sewing boom, why I feel that those wonderful Husqvarna sewing machines have lost their soul and I top it off by doing some very sweeping generalisations around the Swedish sewing aesthetic (don’t come for me fellow Swedes 😁)  Plus lots of other fun facts about Swedish sewing life. 

So now I curious about what the sewing culture is like in your country? I think many of us went through a sewing recession, with lots of fabric shops closing.

Though now it seems like several countries are experiencing a garment sewing revival, which is really interesting to observe. But I would still say that garments sewing still remain a niche pursuit in many countries, even though it’s had some great momentum in the last few years.
