In this episode of Sew In The Know, Mike checks in from the sewing world with a look back at BERNINA University, where he was representing Goat Notions, and gives a few well-deserved shout-outs to some great people from the show.

He also talks about the upcoming Sewing Studio Summer Showcase in Hudson, Illinois, a packed event hosted by one of the top BERNINA dealers in the country, with classes, demos, vendors, and a seriously impressive lineup of educators and industry pros.

Then Mike gets into the product that stopped everyone this week: Odif OdiCoat.

After a video from Maddie Kertay of BadAss Quilters Society showed vintage children’s book pages being turned into a flexible, sewable material, OdiCoat suddenly became the product everyone wanted to know about.

Mike breaks down what OdiCoat is, how it works, what kinds of projects it makes sense for, and why it might be worth trying if you make bags, pouches, home decor, craft projects, or anything that needs a waterproof, wipe-clean, oilcloth-style finish.

Because sometimes the best sewing ideas are practical.

And sometimes they are just the right kind of chaos.
