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've got a special Sowing 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 answer any listener questions. All right, well, let's dive right in. We have a listener question,

which came from Jedi Pencil on Spotify.

And this person said you've previously done episodes on sewing in bits.

Do you have any new ideas on how to carve out time to sew and not fail sewing the garment?

L.O.L.

That's a great question.

Do you have any new tips for Jedi pencil?

Yes.

So something that I do when I'm trying to encourage myself to do something that I'm not doing enough of or something is I like try to think of um triggers that will remind me to do that thing um so for me I have like a couple of triggers on Tuesday Tuesday nights, my husband goes out with his friends and I sew that night.

It's like my sewing in my studio time.

And so that's like a bigger one for me that I get like guaranteed every week.

I get like two hours of sewing time for myself then. And then the other thing that I do is I oftentimes will, when I log off of work,

lots of times I'll have 15 minutes before I have to start making dinner.

I know it's not like a lot of time.

But you would be surprised by when I'm able to do that, like, you know, even like three times a week, how much sewing I can accomplish in one week just by sewing those, you know, three 15-minute chunks. So that is what I would recommend,

like, whatever the trigger is for you, maybe it's like after you do the dishes at night or something, just kind of habit stack them altogether.
