What happens when the sewing group chat finally leaves the internet and becomes real life? ✨🧵
In Episode 35 of The Sewcial Hour Podcast, Bethany and Audra are joined by former guest Missy Luukkonen for a cozy, laughter-filled recap of their girls sewing trip to Peoria, Illinois.
For four glorious days, the three of them piled into an Airbnb filled with sewing machines, fabric stacks, pajamas, wine glasses, and nonstop laughter. They stitched late, laughed until they cried, and soaked up the kind of creative energy that only happens when sewists come together in real life.
In this episode, they talk about:
• How sewing friendships grow — and why they matter so much
• What it really takes to turn a group chat into an actual trip
• Letting go of perfection and embracing connection
• Why sewing retreats are about more than just finishing projects
• How saying “yes” to community can spark creativity and confidence
If a sewing retreat or girls sewing getaway is on your 2026 bucket list, consider this your gentle nudge to take the leap. The friendships, memories, and creative joy are worth it.
🎒🧵🍷 Whether you’re dreaming of planning your first sewing retreat or just craving deeper connections in the sewing community, this episode will leave you feeling inspired, encouraged, and ready to book the Airbnb.
