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.

In this bonus episode, we recap a very busy May. Helen has been making wearable muslins of her wedding dress design, prepping two pattern releases, and hosting friends and family. Caroline took a trip to visit family in Montreal, had a pizza party with the Birdies, and put in a ton of work on her veggie garden. Plus: recommendations for books, podcasts, board games, and more!
