Size Inclusivity in the maker space: a (frustrating) history of sizing, where to find size inclusive patterns, and how designers can be size inclusive in the year of our Beyonce 2023 and beyond w/ Autumn Eden-Goodman & Jen Joyce
Oct 25, 2023 Episode 144

Autumn is out here doin' the important work! She joins Jen to chat all about size inclusivity in the maker space.  We kick it off with the (not-surprisingly frustrating) history of sizing because if we want to change the world, we must know where we came from. Autumn tells us all about her passion project of sharing designers and patterns that are size-inclusive and yarn dyers that also support, and then she shares how designers can ensure they are inclusive. And in the year of our Beyonce 2023, if you are not size inclusive, we hope you might listen and consider! :)
