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.

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.

This episode, we talk about printing on big paper, projectors, when to change your rotary blade, ironing board covers, more transporter dilemmas, clones, and if Picard was a great captain.

More show notes available at sewquest.ca

If you have questions let us know on our website or on social media. We'd love to try to answer them.

In this episode, we unsubscribe, resubscribe, unsubscribe, then resubscribe again, talk about fuzzy fabrics, hot fabrics, bleach mistakes, cat ironing boards, and letting go of makes that aren’t working for you.

We're back after an unexpected hiatus for our last episode of season 1. We get side tracked right out of the gate, but bring it back to answer a couple of sewing-related questions. We don't actually talk about making sausage.

Mandy from Words Worth Books in Waterloo, Ontario, joins us on the pod this episode. 

Additional show notes and links coming soon. 

This week, we make some corrections, talk about grading seams (the other definition), voting, mac and cheese, and driving standard (or not). 

What we're reading/ Watching:

In this episode, Erin can't podcast and gets confused easily, Caroline likes to walk with her partner, and we try to be helpful in regards to adjustments but read the question wrong. We talk about jackets, patterns, and what we're sewing.

In this episode we talk stripes, organization, and AI taking over the sewing world.

See sewquest.ca for links and transcript.

In this episode, we discuss designing digital prints, grading seam allowances, sewing for potty training, some really interesting jeans, and Caroline does some sewing. Note: Since recording this, we've realized that we probably misinterpreted the grading seam allowances question, and will re-answer it in a later episode (probably episode 10).
