Thanks for sharing my post! I love Wednesday Weekly!
OK, so the idea of multiple ways to seam rip is hilariously new to me. Thanks for these roundups cus otherwise WHO KNOWS when i’d find out about something like that? And, I mean, because they’re nice for other reasons.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy the WW! Happy seamripping!
Nice roundup!! I listened to the recent podcast with Heather from Closet Case patterns, and it was FIRE! Thank you for the program.
Oh! This is the first time I took the opportunity to lisen your pod cast Love to Sew, nice wok with Heather Lou interview.
I’m also doing the TRUE Challenge! I saw your first paragraph and just had to skip down to comment (I like to save up your posts and sometimes it takes me a few days to get through them because there is so much great content) but I had to chime in. It’s been such a lovely Challenge and feels like a really nice way to start the year and it’s so cool to see someone else doing it too!
…and I’ll stop nerding out there. 🙂
