We share our listeners' stories and suggestions for sewing with others in real life! We chat about guilds, clubs, classes, Zoom sewcials, friend meet-ups, and even sewing birthday parties. And we share our own stories, too.
Show Notes
We made garments from our fabric scraps and we reveal them to each other ON THE PODCAST! We chat about how we decided which scraps to put together, our patchwork techniques, and how we feel about our scrap stashes now.
Show Notes
We interview Maddie Ballard, author of Patchwork: A Sewist's Diary! We chat with her about learning to sew during the pandemic, connecting to her roots through her projects, and transforming painful moments into beautiful work.
Show Notes
This episode is all about presser feet! We cover all the basics, plus take you into truly mysterious territory. Like: how do you use a ruffler foot? Do you need a blind hem foot to sew a blind hem? And does my machine have a high shank or a low shank... more

I just love listening to this - I’ve gone through the back catalogue recently as company while I sew and it makes for such cozy evenings, plus I’ve learnt so much and got the nudge I needed to challenge myself with new skills
I've been listening to Helen and Caroline for years and I deeply value their expertise, humor, and guest choices. I hope to keep listening for many more years!
This is my very favorite podcast! I’ve been sewing for decades but I still learn a thing or two from Helen and Caroline. My favorite episodes are the interviews with experts (and conversely my least favorite episodes are the episodes with “influencers” who are mainly known for their pretty instagram pages.) I also love the deep dives into fabrics and the new We Sew episodes. It’s also well worth being a Patreon subscriber for all of the bonus episodes!
Love, love, love your podcast! I’ve listened to every episode multiple times! Who would not want to immerse themselves in sewing-related goodness everyday!😍
I find this podcast so practical and informative. The ladies have such fun catching up and have different styles and interests, it makes for super entertaining and helpful hints and tips. I also love when they have a guest on! I've done deep dives into the guests after listening to the podcast as they are so interesting!

Two sewing-focused hosts discuss garment construction, pattern hacks, and the social fabric of the sewing community. Episodes blend hands-on tips—fitting, pattern modifications, and fabric choices—with personal storytelling, small-business moments, and audience questions. Notable strengths include practical demonstrations, thoughtful discussions of trends and sustainability, and a warm, conversational vibe that many listeners find motivating for their own sewing projects. A recurring draw is turning creative challenges into actionable guidance, often backed by hosting duo's experience as indie business owners.
