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. Today we've got a special sewing roundup episode

for you where we talk about the things

we're making, what we're excited about, what new things we're trying, and we answer some

listener questions. So we're going to start with a listener question. This is the first thing we've

got today. What do you do with clothing you've made but no longer wear? I have such a hard time

getting rid of things that I've made. All right. What about you? Okay. I've talked about this

before and I'm seeing the fault in my ways. I have no problem just getting rid of things that I've

made. I'll give them to someone I know or donate

them. But in the past year, I've been thinking about certain things I've made that I got rid of

that I feel a little regret around. And so something that we're doing here in the office,

I just did a massive closet clean out, because as you

can imagine, we make samples every single month. We have a truly enormous closet at the office,

closets, multiple. And what I did was I created a closet archive. And this is a place where we're

keeping things that I made a criteria of what fits the archive. So it's things

that have like special fabrics, special details that none of our other patterns have, or things

that are just like really special that we just love. And it was so nice to create this like criteria

for an archive and a place to save these special things, even if we don't reach for them at

photo shoots or for videos often. And I thought, this is such a great idea that I could start

doing for myself, because someday, what if my daughters are like, Mom, what about all these

cool clothes that you made? And then I'm going to be like, sorry, I just got rid of everything.
