We are recording today on the traditional ancestral and unceded territories of the co-salish and quakwaki-wak peoples,

including sleighwetooth, squamish, muskwium, and comox-first nations.

Hello and welcome to Love to Sew! I'm Helen, the designer behind Helen's Posit Patterns,

and I'm Caroline the owner of Blackbird Fabrics. We're two sewing buds who love to sew our own

clothes and want to encourage you on your sewing journey, too. Join us today for a supercharged pep talk!

We are so happy to be back for our spring season with you all. Thank you so much for your

patience and your support over the break and your support of us taking a break. We've really,

really appreciate it. Yes, breaks are very healthy and we had such a great time, but now we're back

and we really want to thank our patrons. Since we decided not to have advertisements on the show

anymore, our patrons are our support network and Patreon is how we pay our team and ourselves.

So thank you all so much for supporting us over there and if you want to join our Patreon family,

you can do so at patreon.com slash love to sew. We release bonus episodes every month even in

the off season. Yes, and we do monthly catch-ups where we talk about what we're sewing and share

our favorite recipes, music, and shows, and just have a little bit more of a personal connection

with you all, which is so lovely. So we would really love to have you join us patreon.com slash love

Yes, and we had a really nice holiday season and a super busy start to the new year. We hope

that you've been well and safe and that you had a chance to do some sewing. Yes, and today we have

an exciting episode to kick off the season. We invited some of our past guests to record a little

pep talk so we could have an episode dedicated to lifting you up and encouraging you in your sewing.

I feel like we could all use a pep talk these days. So this is one we hope that you can return to

anytime you need a boost and a reminder that you can do it. So without further ado, let's hear

these pep talks. Let's hear them. Hi there. My name is Brooks Ann Camper and I am a couture wedding
