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

Welcome back to Seamwork Radio. Today we're talking about some of the best sewing

shortcuts to help you save time off sewing and we're going to cover tips that we use to shave time off sewing and then where we like to

take shortcuts and where we don't like to take shortcuts and we're also going to share several

tips from seamwork staff and community that we love all right so our icebreaker today comes from

seamwork member stasia and stasia, did you ever have a garment fall

off or fail to stay fastened? This is a fun one. How about you, Haley? Ever have that

happen? I know you have. Yes. Yeah, Sari knows this story. This wasn't really the fault of the garment necessarily,

more my own personal fault. I was living in L.A. and my best friend Rachel took me out to this

like really fancy restaurant in Hollywood for my birthday. And so we got all like dressed up. And I just made this

really fitted skirt for myself, which did have a vent in the back, you know, for walking. And

being like a total goofball like I am, we're in the restroom while we're waiting for our

table to get ready. And I decide to show Rachel, you know, like the butterfly, the dance. And so I'm like

straight up twerking in this restroom.

Totally split my skirt from the vent straight up to the butt.

I turned the vent, the modest vent, into a very daring, very daring, rated R vent.

And I was horrified. Oh, my gosh.

Even more horrified because I did this to myself.

It was my fault that my skirt is about to fall off my body.

You're just cracking up.

I look at Rachel.

I'm like, what am I going to do?
