Today’s Podcast Guest
I’m excited to welcome Crystal Hammond to the Everyday Bucket List Podcast!
Crystal Hammond of SewSoFab.com and SophisciatedSpender.com
Crystal Hammond hasn’t bought clothes in years and it’s her goal to teach as many people as possible her sewing tips, tricks and shortcuts. Born and raised on the south side of Chicago, Crystal was inspired by the clothes her mother made growing up. After struggling to find clothes that fit her properly, she decided to reignite her own interest in sewing and wants to help others turn piles of fabric into something cool.
