Episode 15: Sewing in the Margins of Life – Making Time for Creativity Amid Chaos

Life gets busy—like really busy. Between work, family, adulting, and everything in between, finding time to sew can feel nearly impossible. In this episode of The Sewcial Hour Podcast, Bethany and Audra get real about the struggle to carve out creative time in hectic seasons and why sewing isn’t just a hobby - it’s self-care.

We’re sharing personal stories, relatable moments (yes, Audra once stitched while getting her hair foiled!), and practical strategies for squeezing in sewing—even in 10-minute bursts. Whether you’re stitching during nap time, lunch breaks, or in the pickup line, we’re here to remind you: it counts.

Icebreaker: What’s the most unexpected place or moment you’ve managed to sneak in some sewing? Join the convo in our Facebook group, The Sewcial Sewists!

Spool School: Clean your machine. Seriously. Also… Audra learns some hard truths about interfacing.

Topics include:

  • Reframing sewing as a necessity, not a luxury

  • Giving yourself permission to make

  • Creative ways to sew in short, doable sessions

  • Tips for working sewing into travel, family life, and even your social calendar

❤️ You Love to See It: Bethany’s new shower and Audra’s ironing therapy moment (yes, really).

📅 Next Week: Threading Through the Trends – we’re chatting all about what’s hot in the sewing world right now!
