0:00.0	We are recording today on the traditional ancestral and unceded territories of the Coast Salish and Quakwakiwak peoples,
0:06.2	including Slewa Tooth, Squamish, Musqueam, and Comox First Nations.
0:14.0	Hello and welcome to Love to Sew! I'm Helen, the designer behind Helen's closet patterns,
0:18.5	and I'm Caroline, the owner of Blackbird Fabrics. We're two sewing buds who love to sew our own

0:44.4	excited! Hello, Caroline! Hello, Helen, how are you? I'm doing well, how are you? I'm really

1:50.8	a-line skirt, it has a panel design and a choice of two lengths, there's a choice between
1:56.8	pork chop pockets and slash pockets and it goes up to a 72 and a half inch hip. Yes, great size
