Hello and welcome to Love to Sew. I'm Caroline, the owner of Blackbird Fabrics and VF Patterns.

And I'm Helen, the designer behind Helen's closet patterns and Cedar Quilt Co.

We're two sewing buds who love to sew and it's basically all we want to talk about.

Today we are interviewing Jerry Berman from Jerry in Stitches. Jerry's social media accounts are the happiest

place in the sewing world. She shows off her jaw-dropping projects, shares lots of tips,

and walks us through interesting techniques, all with her signature high energy and

positivity. We talk to her about hand dyeing, sashico, and more.

If you love to sew, this is your show.

Hello Jerry, thank you so much for coming on the show today. Thanks for having me I'm so happy to be here with you guys. Oh we're so happy to get the

chance to talk with you can you please introduce yourself to our listeners?

Well, I'm Jerry, and I have the Instagram handle,

Jerry in stitches, and I love to sew.

You certainly do. You are such a prolific sewist and it's amazing following along with everything that you do over at Jerry and Stitches. So if y'all

aren't following Jerry yet go go give her her follow, totally worth it. Jerry, where are you from?

Originally I was born and raised in Singapore and then I moved to the states and lived in the northeast for a while for my studies and then I fell in love with my husband and now I lived in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Wow, oh my gosh.

Okay, and tell us a little bit about your sewing journey.

How and when did you learn to sew?

Like almost all little girls in Singapore, the sewing journey begins at age about eight in a home economics class.
