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

Welcome back to Seamwork Radio. So today we're talking about how to sew when you're feeling stressed out.

We're going to cover why it's so hard to make time for things when we're stressed,

how to make it easier to create when you're feeling this way,

and some super practical tips and tricks for using sewing as a way to remove stress and not add to it.

All right.

So we're going to start with our icebreaker today.

Do you have a tried and true sewing project for when you need a win?

What do you think, Haley?

Do you have one?

Probably it changes from time to time. Like I don't have like one that I always have done and always will do.

But really anything that doesn't require fitting, I think is usually one of the really like ingredients to make sure that you're like definitely going to feel successful. I've been into like hair accessories the last

year. Our Drew headband is really fun to make. It uses the tiniest scraps and you can make it in like

30 minutes and scrunchies.

Those have been my like go-to projects lately, but I, you know, I do love a good tote bag.

Like a simple line tote bag always feels good.

Yeah.

I made the Drew headband and scrunchies for holiday gifts last year, and they're just so fun to

sew. And I love making anything that you can use scraps for. It just makes me feel so good to

use up those leftover pieces of fabric that I have laying around that I always hold on to longer

than I should. Yeah. And it like makes the wind feel like even more successful when

you're like making something that's cute and you like, it's quick, you're using scraps.
