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 hold on to that creative sparkle you have

when you're a beginner at something. And we're going to cover the benefits of being a beginner,

why the beginner sparkle fades over time, and how to tap into it again. All right. Haley,

we're going to start with our icebreaker for today, which is, when was the last time you accidentally made something ugly?

I love this question. I also came up with this question, so of course I love it.

Just a couple of weeks ago, Sienna and I filmed the sew along for the Rett jacket.

And I pulled like this like green brushed canvas out of my

stash. I was like, this will be great. And it's something I already have. Like I'm really winning

here. But I didn't have green cone thread for to search my seams with. And so I was like,

oh, you know what to look really cute is gold. I'll use gold.

Like metallic gold or like yellow? Like mustardy gold, like denim. Top stitching thread gold.

So I was like, yeah, that'll be cool. And then as soon as we started filming and I started surging

scenes, I was like, this is straight up leprechaun. Straight up leprechaun. I don't know if that like

counts is ugly. I haven't made something truly ugly in a while. When I was pregnant, I made a brown

sweatshirt for myself. And I like cut it extra long so that I could like hem it on like adjust it on my

body. And when I tried it on, it made me cry because I thought I looked

like friar tuck.

I was like, balled it up. I was like, I don't want this. And I think I gave the fabric to

Sienna. I'm like, she loves brown. It's very own brand for her, but I look like Friertuck

and I'm not having it. A friar tuck and a leprechaun. I think you should wear them together.
