    The Unexpected Finale - Cheese String Wrappers Everywhere

    A final episode of sorts. We didn’t know it was the final episode when we recorded this, but we decided to move on. Caroline tries to get Erin to tell her it is ok to not prewash. We dive into our social ideals. And we even answer a sewing question in this one… Thank you for all your support over the life of this podcast! If you want to continue to hear us ramble, we will be launching a new podcast. Follow @EphemeralExistencePodcast on Instagram to stay in the loop.

    What even is time?

    We talk hems, pleated fabrics, and tension issues, and go completely off the rails when thinking about time... Detailed show notes are in the works and will be updated soon but we didn't want to hold up this release any longer.
