We each made a button-up shirt and, in this episode, we reveal them to each other for the first time! We chat about the patterns and fabrics we chose, the issues we encountered during our sewing, and how we’ll style our new shirts. We also share a bunch of our best shirtmaking tips.
The transcript for this episode is coming soon!
