Make and Decorate with Stephanie: Sew, Quilt, Knit & Home Decor
Host Stephanie Socha, a residential interior designer and maker presents a creative lifestyle podcast for those who love to sew, quilt, knit, decorate and make things for the home. This podcast is for the maker who loves to dabble in many types of hobbies, mainly sewing and quilting, but also knitting, paper crafts (Cricut) gardening and interior decorating.
There are a mix of guest interviews and solo episodes where I present an informative topic and/or educational "how to" on specific maker techniques.
