0:22.9	going to cover how to choose your next project and then a process you can rely on for keeping
0:27.7	your cue interesting. All right, let's get into our icebreaker for today, which comes from
0:33.8	Jenny Dee. And Jenny asks, do you sew for your husbands? If so, what make have they loved
0:40.5	and what was a fail? And Haley, do you sew a lot for Charlie? I'll let you start with that one.
