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

Hi everyone, Haley and I are taking a break for the holidays and while we're gone we're

resharing our sewing by design series from earlier this year. This series was

really popular and a lot of people have found it helpful for building a framework around their sewing so that they can get more out of it.

Today's episode is the last step in the process and it's all about choosing your adventure and figuring out where to go from here.

I hope you enjoy hearing it, whether it's for the first time or as a refresher on the whole concept of creating

a sewing practice that makes you happy. Enjoy the episode and we'll be back next week with a brand

new one. Welcome back to Seamwork Radio. Today, we're talking about how to continually grow and

advance your sewing skills so you keep having fun and stay motivated. So this is the last part of our series on our

sewing by design framework. And we're going to cover how a beginner mindset can help you to become

more advanced, how to go about tackling a skill you've always wanted to learn, and how to combine

different resources in order to become your own teacher. So we're going to start with our

icebreaker for today. And this one comes from Betty Kay. Betty is one of our favorite people in the

Seamwork community. Shout out to Betty. Love you, Betty. Betty asks, what is your fantasy make?

I don't have a lot of occasions to wear fancy dresses. And so it like hurts my heart a little bit that I don't get to make stuff like that. I used to be able to. And I think my fantasy make is like kind of a big sewing regret of mine is that I didn't make my wedding dress. I wish I could time travel. My fantasy is time traveling so I could go back in time, kick myself in

the butt and say, don't be lazy, make your wedding dress. I don't think you should beat yourself

up too much about that. Well, I'm going to. Yeah. So just like fancy things. I love a bias cut gown or working with lace or like engineering's boostier into like a gown. I just have so much fun doing that kind of stuff. Yeah, that's fun. That's so rewarding. And it's so fun to play with those materials too. I wish I had more occasion

to wear fancy things also. I think that mine would be kind of in the same vein in that I don't
