Episode 296: We Sew the Good Fabric

What this episode covers

In this episode, we took the plunge and sewed our favourite fabrics into showstopper garments! We reveal them to each other for the first time and share the stories of where we got our fabrics, what the fitting and sewing process was like, and where we plan to wear our new clothes. Plus, we answer a listener question about altering a pants pattern from an elastic waist to a fitted waist and share another listener’s feedback about a futuristic zipper. The transcript for this episode is on this page at the end of the show notes.
