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

Welcome back to Seamwork Radio, everyone. So today we're talking about two types of learners

and how to identify which you are. And we're going to cover what these two types are, how you can

learn from the other type, and what pitfalls to look out for as you gain sewing skills.

So we're going to start with our icebreaker today, Healy. Has there ever been a time that you're

sewing stalled out? Oh, yeah, definitely. I don't want to say all the time, but like, you know,

it's happened a fair amount of times now that I've been sewing for such a long time. Yeah.

I feel like it happens kind of for two reasons. There's like these kind of external circumstances

like, you know, moving or having a kid or just like big life events

that kind of like keep me from sewing because I'm kind of embracing whatever that is and not

worrying too much with sewing. But other times I feel like my sewing can also stall out if I'm

sewing but not really like challenging myself. I'm sewing to like get the finished product, not to like enjoy the practice itself.

And I think that really happens when I'm not pushing myself to try new things or do things that are challenging

and engaging enough. I'm just kind of like, yeah, like going through the motions. It's a different

kind of stall. Yeah. That's interesting because I was I was talking to some friends about something

similar the other day about the relationship between boredom and burnout and how

a lot of times boredom and burnout feel kind of similar and that boredom is often a sign that

you need to do something more challenging and push yourself a little bit more.

So you stay engaged with whatever it is.

We weren't talking about sewing or craft or anything like that.

But I think that's true in work.

And I think that's true in other pursuits that we have outside of work too.
