Hey friends—welcome back to another #fridaysews! In Episode 121 I’m chatting through my August sewing plans and what’s currently got me excited at the machine. This is my favorite time of the week because I get to just “chat away” about all things sewing, share what I’m thinking about making next, and hear what you’re working on too. I also share what I’m wearing in the video—my Ellie and Mac Staycation Dress—because I always love being able to talk about a pattern while I’m actually wearing it. I also mention a handful of patterns and sewing inspiration that are on my radar right now, including several Peony Patterns options (like the Wisteria and the free Apple Berry Top and Skirt), plus the Powderpuff Petticoats for both kids and dolls. And because my sewing brain doesn’t stay in one lane for long, I also point you toward some fun viewing (The Great British Sewing Bee) and a quilt idea with the Stars and Stripes flag quilt pattern. If you’re planning your own month of makes, this episode is meant to be a cozy check-in to help you get inspired and make a game plan—one happy project at a time.
