Self Love through Sewing, with Sarahbeth Larrimore

This week, I’m chatting to my friend

Sarahbeth Larrimore

, the wonder-woman behind Unabashed Apparel. The mantra for her work says it all: “Empowering women to design & sew. Our bodies are worthy of our finest frocks, just as they are.” Um, yes please!

Sarahbeth and I had a juicy conversation about personal style and the benefits of sewing for self-expression, creativity and body acceptance. I know next to nothing about sewing, but by the end of this episode Sarahbeth had me completely convinced I should start stitching my own wardrobe - and I bet you’ll feel the same!

Things we talk about in this episode:

• How sewing and clothing design can be empowering in unexpected ways

• Sarahbeth’s Queen Robe Project (enrolling now!), and how anyone can learn to sew

• The differences between historical garments and modern made clothes

• How clothes impact our body image and self worth

• The role of sewing and mending for sustainability and customisation

• My collection of vintage French under-dresses, and my upcoming collection of them for sale

• The stories our clothes can tell about us as they age and change
