In this bonus episode, we recap a very busy May. Helen has been making wearable muslins of her wedding dress design, prepping two pattern releases, and hosting friends and family. Caroline took a trip to visit family in Montreal, had a pizza party with the Birdies, and put in a ton of work on her veggie garden. Plus: recommendations for books, podcasts, board games, and more!
