In this month’s bonus episode, Helen reflects on starting the year with sickness and coming through it to an exciting year of pattern releases. The word of the year is “slow!” 🐌 Caroline is building new habits, including yoga, hiking, and a new skincare routine. Both are feeling the January sewjo and have some fun sewing plans coming up. Plus, the patterns that came out last month, the things we’ve loved in January, and a tip for anchoring your thread by hand. 🪡
