Hello back again in our Audio Diary. Toni shares her anticipation for a relaxing getaway to Sicily, where she plans to soak in the simplicity and beauty of Modica's Baroque towns. We also get a sneak peek into the family's charming Sicilian home and the recent renovations that await her discovery.

Back at sisterMAG Patterns, we experienced an overwhelming response to our call for pattern testers for the new 'DAPPER DARLING' collection, leading to a system shutdown due to high interest. Thea opens up about the challenges ahead, particularly with Toni being on vacation, and highlights the company's busy schedule.

Be sure to catch the latest updates from the sisters and explore their sewing patterns at sisterMAGPatterns.com or connect with us on Instagram sistermagpatterns.
