This month’s bonus episode is about making your sewing time calmer, lovelier, and more focused. We share little rituals you can do to get into the sewing mood, strategies for lifting yourself out of a sewing rut quickly, and ways you can feel like the main character while you sew. We also share some of our fave things to watch and listen to while we sew.
