0:00.0	I'm Sari and I'm Haley and this is Seamwork Radio.
0:09.4	Welcome back to Seamwork Radio where we share practical ideas for building a creative process so you can sew with intention and joy.
0:17.5	Welcome back to Seamwork Radio Summer Sewing Camp 2023.
0:21.6	So during the months of June and July, we're going to be embarking on a journey together to refresh our sewing spaces in June and then our personal style in July.
0:32.2	In today's episode, we'll be discussing a strategy for auditing your sewing room.
0:39.8	So as we've mentioned in the last couple of episodes, when we hear from seamworkers, one of the biggest obstacles that we hear
