We’re back, friends! In this spring sewing catch-up, I’m sitting down with my mom to chat through what we’ve been making lately, what’s been on our cutting tables, and what we’re excited to sew next. If you love a cozy “Friday Sews” style update—finished makes, works-in-progress, and the real-life pace of sewing—this video is exactly that kind of hangout. I’m also sharing what I’m wearing in the video (my Ellie and Mac Staycation Dress), because you know I love talking about what’s working in my handmade wardrobe. We also talk about plans and inspiration for the season, including Sew Frugal and some of the patterns and projects that have been on my radar. And yes…my mom influenced me to spend money. You’ll hear what she talked me into, why it caught my attention, and how it fits into my current making goals—practical, fun, and something I’ll actually use. It’s a relaxed catch-up, but if you’re needing a little motivation to get back to sewing (or permission to enjoy the process), I think you’ll leave feeling encouraged and ready for your next happy project.
