    Mini-Episode 81: Dropped Waists

    This month's mini-episode is about a trending design detail: dropped waists! A dropped waist is when the waist of a garment sits below the body's natural waist. We share some great indie dropped waist patterns, talk about three ways you can hack a dropped waist dress, and share different strategies for fitting this kind of garment.

    Mini-Episode 80: Covering Cushions

    This month's mini-episode topic comes from our patron, Emily: "I want to make some bench cushions for a breakfast bench in our kitchen. I’m thinking two long rectangles, as the bench is L-shaped. Maybe with some piping around the edges! I’d love to hear about good fabrics to choose, ideas for coordinating cushions with other kitchen details like tile or decor, as well as construction tips and tricks.” We've got you, Emily! And anyone else out there who wants some tips for beautiful custom cushion covers.
