Is it CAKE or ICING?

22.02.2026 · 59 Min.

Shownotes

We spend so much time sewing “icing” pieces, the special occasion outfits that only see daylight once or twice a year. But what about the CAKE? The everyday pieces that carry your wardrobe, the ones you reach for again and again. In today’s episode, we’re talking about shifting your focus from icing to cake, and why building more wearable, repeatable pieces will make your sewing fun and exciting again!
