In July’s bonus episode, Helen and Caroline recap a busy month: Helen’s Closet released their STUDIO collection, Blackbird had their open shopping day, and both have been enjoying friends, family, and nature! 🍃 Helen’s garden is exploding and Caroline went lake swimming at her yoga retreat. Plus: Caroline has started a new craft (!), Helen is designing new patterns, there are lots of new pattern releases (with a distinct lingerie/swimwear theme), and the tip/trick/tool/technique is an anti-tip this month. 🤔
