Reverse Garbage
Kirsten Junor, CEO of Reverse Garbage in Marrickville is making sure everyone celebrates 50 years of operating to give a second life to industrial and home 'waste'. Reverse Garbage rescues between 4 to 6 tonnes of material each month. Reducing landfill, providing a safe space for social impact, giving people low cost items, providing education. These are just some of the ways Reverse Garbage has been contributing to the community. They are not for profit and all money raised from sales goes back into keeping Reverse Garbage operating. Next week's episode is about how their education provides so much more to the community. If you are able, consider supporting this podcast through our patreon account.

Stitch it, Don't ditch it
Jeanna Wigger and Mary V Morton are the authors of Stitch it, Don’t Ditch It. Mary direct messaged Jeanna when Mary heard Jeanna on Check Your Thread podcast. They teamed up and wrote this really helpful book about mending via hand sewing. As a sewist, you would assume mending clothes is the focus of this book. What Mary and Jeanna have created is a resource for anyone to mend not just clothing but any textile or object they want to give a second or third life to. Stitch It provides all basic hand sewing skills and mending techniques to repair garments by hand. Skills are presented with instructions for both left- and right-handed menders, with accessible line drawings accompanying each skill. The book includes indispensable explanations of fabric types and construction, to guide readers in learning about their clothes, and how those factors influence each repair.

Sew Do It For Heart
Ronda Hazell's story started in June 2024 when an echocardiogram showed she had a dilated ascending aorta (a dilation is a bulge where the diameter of the aorta gets bigger when it is more than 1.5 times normal size it is called an aneurysm). This is a life-threatening medical condition because larger aneurysms can rupture or dissect. Aortic disease is linked to problems with the aortic valve of the heart. Ronda has regular check-ups with a cardiologist to monitor her heart and aneurysm size. Finding good medical help was difficult but it is there. Having the issues she's been facing discussed will help more of women find good medical diagnosis and help. Heart disease for women is different. SewDoItForHeart25 is a way to showcase people in the sewing community who integrate hearts into their projects to raise awareness that heart disease for women exists and is different.
