The African Lookbook with Catherine McKinley

The Stitch Please podcast will celebrate its 100th episode on  9/15/2021. As part of that effort, we are looking to add 100 additional  Black Women Stitch Patreon supporters by the 100th Stitch Please podcast episode publication date. These funds will be used to build financial stability for the podcast while alleviating the pressure of a solo operation.  Will you join us? For as little as $2 a month, you can help Lisa hire consistent editorial and production support.  Thank you SEW much to our new Patrons! Welcome Cynthia, Terry, Kacina, Alyssa, Cathy, Heather, Shannon, Brandy, Gaëlle, Kristi, Lee, Mo Jo, Alison, Shonkeisha, and Kate. THANK YOU!

Catherine says that some of her "most meaningful experiences were sitting at sewing tables in Africa and watching the contact between a seamstress and clients. Sewing orders or elaborate alterations are a weekly or monthly indulgence for many women, so the gossip and planning, the low grade competition, and the intimacy of fittings, etc. was wonderful, not to mention the latest styles and new cloth designs, which changed so rapidly."
