I'm Sari and I'm Haley and this is Seamwork Radio.

Welcome back to Seamwork Radio where we share practical ideas for building a creative process so you can sew with intention and joy.

Today we're talking about planning your fall sewing season.

We'll cover five of our favorite strategies for creating a cohesive plan that gets you excited

From reviewing your past projects to building the perfect color palette, we're sharing
