I'm Siri 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 how to build a fabric palette

in five easy steps. So we'll

cover why creating a palette is so important for a cohesive wardrobe, the exact system I use
