I'm Sarah Mittnick, and this is Seamwork Radio, where we tell stories about the surprising ways that sewing impacts our lives.

Hi, everybody, and welcome to Seamwork Radio. Sowing your own clothing can change your perspective

in some surprising ways. We talk to makers like you about how the practice of sewing has helped

them to slow down, get to know their bodies, discover who they are, and connect to the people

around them. We believe that what you make is important. Tune in to hear from a community of people

who care about sewing and creating just like you do.

I'm Sari.

And I'm Haley.

And this week, we also have a special guest joining us.

Hello, everyone.

I'm Taylor.

I am the user experience designer here at Seamark, and I also help produce the podcast.

We're super excited to have Taylor joining us today on this special

episode of Seymourke Radio. Sari, I've been into the office a few times the last few weeks,

and I keep on meaning to ask you about this pretty pile of gold fabric and a matching gold zipper on your desk that calls to me

each time I'm in there. Oh, goodness. Well, if you want any, you can have it because it was a disaster.

Oh, no. Well, yeah, I actually bought that fabric. So I've got these old Parsons chairs that we got on Craigslist for our dining room, like probably 10 or 15 years ago. And they had slip covers on them. And the slip covers were getting really old. So I wanted to replace them. So I went out and bought all this really beautiful gold linen. And I cut out, I like made a pattern from the old

slip cover and I cut them all out every piece. And then I was short like half a yard. No.

And I could not make it work because they're all squares, so it all fit together perfectly on the fabric.

So I went back to Millend and they had sold out of the fabric.

And so I couldn't do it.

So I ended up buying another linen and making them and they look great.
