Even though Helen’s a bit under the weather, May’s bonus episode is full of good energy. Caroline’s puppy, Sally, has become much more manageable and Helen went on a great birthday trip. There is a lot of exciting spring and summer sewing going on, including sample sewing for future patterns. Plus: new indie pattern releases, a trick for tying off short threads, and an exclusive cocktail recipe c/o Caroline’s brother!
