We are recording today on the traditional, ancestral, and unseeded territories of the Coast Salish and Kwokkiwak peoples, including Slalutooth, 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 quilco.

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

We're two sewing buds who love to sew, and it's all we know how to talk about.

This episode is all about how to sew when you're a parent or caregiver.

How to find the time, how to keep kids away from sharp sewing tools, how to involve kids

in your sewing practice, and more.

Our listeners called and wrote in with some really cool stories, tips, and strategies.

If you love to sew, this is your show.

Hi.

Hi, Caroline. How are you? I'm doing great. Thanks. How are you? I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. I think this episode is going to be really inspiring for all the parents out there and also really inspiring for all the sewists out there because there are some good strategies in here.

Oh, I was going to say these tips are transferable for sure and I will be taking notes.

Okay, first we wanted to remind you, as always, that the best way to support the show is by joining

us over on Patreon or Apple podcast subscriptions.

Yeah, so you'll get access to bonus content every month and we have so much fun catching up

with you all on those more casual bonus episodes. We're going to record one shortly, Helen,

and I cannot wait. I know, I'm so excited. It really means so much to us if you're able to support us,

even if it's just for a month or two. And if that's not in the cards for you right now,

we totally understand. We want to just say thank you for listening and for cheering us on,

for cheering the whole community on. I feel like this episode is really an example of that.

Like lots of people sharing stories and wanting to pass on information and

knowledge to other parents and caregivers that like you can do it. You're going to get through
