Whitney and Jenni check in on 2026 sewing resolutions and dive into leaning into event sewing—from a rose-print Seamwork shirt made for the Rose Bowl Parade to a last-minute houndstooth Alex Jacket for game day. Jenni shares fabric choices, pattern adjustments, and real-life sewing decisions (including interlining on the fly) that brought this Pasadena trip wardrobe together. If you love sewing for occasions, fast makes with intention, and a little behind-the-scenes honesty, this one’s for you.
