We are recording today on the traditional, ancestral, and unseeded territories of the Coast Salish and Kwokkiwak peoples, including Slaloothe, Squamish, Musquiam, and Comox First Nations.

Hello and welcome to Love to Sew. I'm Helen, the designer behind Helen's closet patterns and Cedar Quiltco.

And I'm Caroline, the owner of Blackbird Fabrics and VF Patterns.

We're two sewing buds who love to sew and it's essentially all we want to talk about.

We each sewed an eyelet garment and now we're going to tell each other about it for the first time.

We discuss our fabric choices, pattern choices, sewing experiences, and lots more. If you love to

sew, this is your show.

I know. I'm so. I know. I'm so excited. I Oh, Helen.

I know.

I'm so excited.

I feel like this new format is just blowing up, exploding.

I know.

In my mind, it is.

I really had fun recording.

Well, actually, wait, I shouldn't say I had fun.

Because I think I had a whole, I went on a whole emotional journey.

You had a transformative experience.

I did.

But it was really fun to try out a new format and fun to get our audience reaction and people seem to love it.

And then we both like listened back to the episode and enjoyed it.

And then we had a conversation

where like maybe the whole podcast should just be this. Which it won't be. That would be too much work.
