0:00.0	I'm Sari and I'm Haley and this is Seamwork Radio.
0:09.9	Welcome back to Seamwork Radio where we share practical ideas for building a creative process so you can sew with intention and joy.
0:17.7	And today we're talking about five lessons we've learned from having a design process as
0:22.6	part of our sewing. So we're going to be talking about design your wardrobe, which is the process
0:26.5	that we both use, but these tips are applicable to any consistent design process that you might
0:32.0	follow. And we're going to cover how we use a design process for sewing, the hardest part about design and what we do
0:38.5	about it, and our best tips for using design to make your sewing both more practical and more
0:44.4	fun. Okay, our icebreaker for today. So Haley, you and I both design in seasonal collection.

1:47.5	and it fits into my everyday wardrobe. So right now that's my favorite. But ask me in six
1:54.4	months and I might have a new one. I think it's interesting because I feel like the more you
2:00.5	wear the things that you make, the more attachment you have to them.
2:03.9	So true.
2:04.8	I've been thinking about that a lot lately.
2:06.2	And I find that if I make something and I wear it right away, then it gets me wearing it more often.
2:12.5	And then I become more attached to it.
