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.

And today we're talking about how to sew without overflowing your closet. So we're

going to cover an exercise that you can do to define what enough means for you and how to

enjoy your sewing without feeling overwhelmed by excess. All right, so all right, so icebreaker for today.

This one comes from Virginia B, and Virginia asks,

have you ever been confident enough in your creations to donate the items you no longer

wear to charity and just felt good that someone else would get the opportunity to love them too?

That's a great question, Virginia.

For me personally, yes, I have been donating things for

many, many years, and I always feel great about it. I think no matter what it is, no matter how

weird it is, there's going to be somebody who loves it out there and they're going to be

excited to find it when they do. At least that's my

hope. What about you, Haley? I agree. I have also been donating. I don't really have a hang

up on, I don't feel really like sad when I donate things that I've made because there's always

new things that I will make in the future. And also I'm like, wow, this is a really cool thing that someone's going to get.

And I think I was young enough when I started sewing that even then, even if my garments

weren't like, I don't know, of the best quality, I was young and cocky. And I was like,

this weird skirt is great.

Someone's going to love it.

And like you said, someone probably did love it and didn't notice that the nap on the corduroy was facing two different directions, you know, stuff like that.
