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

Welcome back to Seamwork Radio. Today we're talking about the best way to build new sewing skills

project by project. We're going to cover why it's difficult to pick the right projects to challenge you

without frustrating you, how to identify the exact skills you need to make a pattern, and our

favorite method for building new skills using hands-on learning. So we'll start with our icebreaker,

as always. And today's icebreaker comes from seamwork member Janine. Janine writes, I don't know if this is too specific

for seamwork, but I'm always curious what the seamwork team's reaction is to what the community does

with their patterns. Like, are there any patterns your surprise didn't get embraced and made a lot?

That's a great question. Thank you, Janine. I love that question. What do you think,

are there any patterns that you feel like should have been more popular? Well, when I look

back through the catalog, actually, most of the kind of fan favorites are my favorites as well. So

that's probably a good thing, probably a good sign. My taste hasn't, you know, gone bad. But the

one pattern recently that I was a little bit

surprised by, probably because I'm such a diehard fan of it, is the Robin braulet. I think maybe because

it looks very simple at first glance, but there's a lot of engineering that goes into it. People have

kind of a bad taste in their mouth with brawlets.

They think maybe they're not supportive.

And I'm a busty person.

I wear a 36G.

And I love that bra.

It's my favorite braulette I own.

It's such a rad pattern.
