Seamwork Radio: Sewing and Creativity

Fashion trends can be a double-edged sword. They’re fun, fresh, and full of creative potential, yet they can easily overwhelm your wardrobe with pieces that don’t quite feel like “you.” But what if trends could work for you instead of against you? Haley and Sarai have a method to take a designer-inspired approach to trends—one that lets you experiment, have fun, and stay true to your personal style. While the podcast takes a break for the holidays, we're re-airing some of our favorite episodes. This one originally aired in 2023.

Do you often find you sew accompanied by an uninvited guest: your inner critic? That little voice that questions your skills, doubts your decisions, and convinces you that your creative work is not good enough? If so, Sarai and Haley have some tips to banish your inner critic—or at least learn to tolerate its presence. We’re taking a break from the podcast for the holidays, so we’re re-airing some of our favorite episodes. This episode is one of our faves because we show you how to recognize, manage, and even quiet that pesky inner critic when you sit down to sew.

In this re-run of one of our favorite episodes, Sarai and Haley help you figure out if you're an ambitious or cautious learner (or somewhere in between). They also share the benefits and pitfalls are for each, and how to learn from each of these learning styles.

For our 10th birthday, we're re-airing some of our favorite episodes of Seamwork Radio. In this episode, Sarai talks with Ashley. As Ashley grew up, her innocence and relationship with her mom eroded. But somehow, sewing provided that thin thread of connection that never went away.
