If you've ever wanted to dive into the world of sewing but didn’t know where to start, you’re not alone.

Staying organized can feel like a monumental task, but in reality, it’s a series of small, consistent habits that make all the difference. 

Whether you’re new to sewing or have years of experience, staying organized can bring more intention and joy to your creative process. In this week’s podcast episode, Sarai and Haley share practical habits for staying organized at every level—annually, seasonally, and during each sewing session.

I like to shop for fabric seasonally, and it helps to have a list of tried-and-true fabrics that work well for each season.

It also helps to get really familiar with the qualities of each fabric, so you can pair it to the right project.

In this episode of the Seamwork Radio podcast, I’m sharing 10 of my favorite winter fabrics to help you stay warm and stylish through the cold months ahead.

You’ll use these fabrics year after year, so the more you get to know them, the easier it will be for you to do your seasonal fabric shopping.

Fashion trends can be a double-edged sword. They’re fun, fresh, and full of creative potential, yet they can easily overwhelm your wardrobe with pieces that don’t quite feel like “you.”

But what if trends could work for you instead of against you? Haley and Sarai have a method to take a designer-inspired approach to trends—one that lets you experiment, have fun, and stay true to your personal style.
