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 going to be talking about something that's really close to my heart,

which is transforming your sewing space into a true creative sanctuary. So whether you're sewing in a

dedicated room, in a corner of your living room, or even a closet, like one of our creative seamworkers

that we're going to be talking about today, these tips will help you create a space that

feels peaceful and nurturing and just perfect for fueling your creativity. It's easy to think that just

having a tidy space is enough. And yes, I think being clutter-free does really work wonders

for your mental clarity. But today, I want to encourage you to think a little bit bigger than that.

So your sewing space isn't just a workspace. It's a creative workspace. And while you definitely

have work to do while you're in it, it should be a space that actively contributes to your

creativity, a special place that's just for you and your sewing where you feel nurtured and comfortable and

inspired. All right. Let's get into the tip. So let's start with tip number one, choosing

soothing colors and decor. The colors around you when you sew can really have a huge impact

on your mood and on your creativity. So if you

have the space to paint, consider calming blues and greens or even neutral tones like

top or gray. If you want to get that feeling of serenity, and if you want to add some energy

into your space instead, you might want to incorporate some bright blues, some reds, or some yellows, accent colors.

It really depends on the level of energy that you personally feel comfortable with when you sew.

Some people want to feel serene when they're sewing.
