Regardless of how fashionable or stylish we think we are (or are not), we all wear clothes. In this podcast, we explore the depths of some of the most intimate times in our lives without shame or guilt. Each season focuses on a theme, where guests share their personal perspective on that particular topic.

This is the final episode of season three of Talking About Clothes. In it, I talk about how the hardest part of this whole year-long project was showing up everyday and doing the thing I showed up to do. And also, how after a transformative year (which this year of The Self-Made Wardrobe Project certainly was), there’s no going back to the way thin…

One of the things that I wore pretty much every single day prior to doing this self made wardrobe project was jeans. But at the beginning of this project, when I was building up the number of garments that I had access to (within the parameters of this year long wardrobe project), I focused a lot on wearing and making fast, simple, easy garments - …

That's what happened with one of the dresses I knit for this self made wardrobe project. It was a one piece hand knit, A-line, very colorful mini dress that was neither my normal colors, nor…

That forces you to meet those requirements, but doesn't allow you to follow any extraneous rabbit ho…

Time seems like a very bizarre concept right now. It has that funny quality of not really being solid anymore and not being something that we can agree on the unit of measuring time by and I'm thinking a lot about time that could be called wasted time. I'm thinking in particular of one long white, plain white skirt that I sewed, intending it to be …

"Oh, I don't have patience for that." I can't tell you how many times I've been told that while knitting or sewing. But the trick is, you don't knit or sew because you have patience. You have patience because you knit or sew. It's a way of practicing and acquiring something that you don't already have. It's a way of bringing more attentive mindfuln…

Knitting this sweater was a hot mess. It was messy, it was ugly. It involved a lot of cursing and re knitting and reworking and shoving the project into a drawer for a couple days. And in all honesty, if I wasn't in the middle of this year long wardrobe challenge with an already extremely limited wardrobe, I probably would have abandoned this sweat…
