In this week's episode, we share our listeners' answers to the question: "If you could only sew one thing, what would it be?" @CelebratingNanaSkills had a great answer - and Helen couldn't resist imagining all the loopholes she could take advantage of! 😂⁠

In this week's episode, we each made an eyelet garment and then revealed it to each other for the first time! Helen made a honeydew-coloured dress and Caroline made a red cropped peasant top. We weren't sure how we would feel about eyelet going in - but coming out, we were both loving it. ⁠

It's okay if you don't love to sew! 🫶⁠

People sew for different reasons, including purely practical ones. And that is totally okay! We want all sewists to feel proud. ❤️⁠

In this week's episode, we discuss how to make sewing more enjoyable (or less painful)!

If you don't know much about hemp, it's a good time to learn! Hemp is one of the oldest fibers used for clothing. It's strong, breathable, antimicrobial, and has GREAT eco-credentials. In this week's episode, we talk about how it's made into fabric, what to sew with it, and where to buy it! ⁠
