Episode 235: This Way or That Way

What this episode covers

Knits vs. wovens! Late night sewing vs. daytime sewing! Making a muslin vs just going for it! In this episode, Helen and Caroline have friendly debates over different approaches to sewing. They weigh the pros and cons of each choice before revealing their personal preferences – and the results of our Instagram polls (nearly 3,000 of you responded!). It’s all in good fun – there is a lot of laughing in this episode. Plus, listener questions about using fabric that goes over a pattern’s recommended stretch percentage and what to do about white pants where the pocket bags are visible. The transcript for this episode is on this page at the end of the show notes.
