Welcome to 2020! Ha. Hahaha…
We’re back after another brief hiatus (unplanned, life happened, we appreciate your patience and coming back to us!) and uh, well it’s the middle of a global pandemic. Cracking timing! So how do we do this podcasting thing?

Wash Your Hands
So… Back when we planned to record this episode before life and pandemics hit the proverbial, we had hoped to chat about size inclusivity and body positivity. That conversation is definitely still important, and we’re both thrilled to see more designers offering a more inclusive range of sizes in their patterns. We’ll probably return to this in a future episode when we’re able to have a proper conversation that isn’t overshadowed by lockdowns, staying home, and worrying about covid-19. So this section is basically us catching up on where we are and where we’ve been! We’ve had babies to raise, family events (sad and happy), and other such things keeping us away from the microphone. We’re glad to be back recording – even if it is via Zoom! – and hope to produce more episodes to hopefully help make lockdown a little more bearable or entertaining wherever you are. We hope you’re all safe, staying home, and washing your hands.
