I'm Sari and I'm Haley and this is Seamwork Radio. Welcome back to Seamark Radio. So today we're

talking about how to design a wardrobe that you will love to wear. And this is part of our series on the

sewing by design framework that we've been talking about

for the last few weeks.

In today's episode, we're going to cover what design your wardrobe is and what that means,

both as a concept and also the program that we teach around it.

We're going to talk about why we think design is such a fundamental part of sewing and the steps that you can actually

is always the 70s. I think that's kind of the one that I revisit most often with the 30s as kind of a close second for me.

What about you, Sari?

just coming off of that art deco period and kind of between that period and the war, World War II, just there was so many beautiful details in clothing at that time.

And the shapes just really appeal to me.

I love finding old sewing patterns from the

1930s. There's some just a really amazing ones. I have a lot of patterns, Hollywood patterns from
