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

Welcome back to Seamwork 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 how to keep sewing when you have limited time and energy.

So we're going to cover six strategies that will help you to feel creative, from the types of projects to sew to a few methods you can use to build motivation.

I'm really excited about this topic today because I feel like this comes up for me quite a bit.

And I know it does for our listeners too.

All right, Haley, our icebreaker for today.

If you could invent a sewing gadget to make life easier, what would it do?

Definitely some kind of cutting robot.

It's well documented that I am not super fond of the cutting phase of sewing.

I don't mind cutting the pattern and making the alterations to the pattern or the sewing.

Obviously, I love that part.

But cutting just feels like such a slog.

So if I could have some kind of fairy or robot, that could do all of the cutting. or maybe it's more of an elf type like a

keeper elf type job that would be my pie in the sky kind of sewing wish gadget that I could have

yeah gadget slash mythical creature.

It's a robot.

It's an elf.

Maybe it's a robot elf.

Yeah.

It can be both for all I care as long as they get the job done.

I'm picturing those like robot dogs, you know?
