Happy October! I have been swooning over the changing leaves and the crisp, cool air. All I need is a pumpkin spice latte and the picture is complete. I’ll have to settle for the pumpkin-coloured rib knit I’m going to sew up soon. I have a few really exciting things in the works AND a new pattern dropping on Monday, so stay tuned!

Helen! I’ve just discovered the love to sew podcast and binge-listened the first 25 episodes in the last week!! So so good! I usually sew children’s clothing but you’re inspiring me to find time to sew for myself. I’m currently making my way back through your Wednesday roundups and pinning all my faves!!! But I’m curious whether you know if anyone does a similar roundup for children’s pattern releases? Thank you for all your inspiring work!
Thanks Whitney! I’m glad you are enjoying the podcast! I hope you get to sew some things for yourself. I am not sure about a kids pattern roundup, but it would be a great idea!
