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

Welcome back to Seamark 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 one of my absolute favorite topics, sewing for travel.

So we're going to cover six tips for creating a travel capsule wardrobe that's practical,

packable, and still feels like you. And I'm also going to share my own plans for a trip. I'm taking

with my mom to Paris this May and how I'm using these tips to build a wardrobe and what's going to be really like going into my suitcase for this trip.

So I'm excited to talk about that. All right. Let's talk about our icebreaker for today, Haley.

Tell me about a time when you packed something you made and either totally saved the day or you regretted bringing it?

That's dramatic.

I don't know if something like that, like, if anything is ever like saved the day for me like that.

The memory that's standing out to me is when I went to Hawaii, maybe 15 years ago,

and I decided I was going to make myself a swimsuit. Granted, I had made swimsuits before. I'd

never made a swimsuit for myselfanted, I had made swimsuits before. I'd never made a swimsuit for myself.

So the stakes felt higher somehow. But I made myself a swimsuit. And whenever you go to a place like

Hawaii or somewhere where you're going to be swimming a lot, you always bring like multiple

swimsuits. Because there's, in my opinion, very few things that are as gross as

putting on a wet-th swimsuit.

It's so gross.

Yeah.

The swimsuit that I made, I swear, like I wore it 90% of the time.

I was willing to put it on wet because I preferred it that much to the other swimsuits that I brought.

It was just fit me perfectly.
