How to Sew Outside the Algorithm

Customer Reviews
Really Helpful
I listen to Haley & Siri as often as possible. They reflect on sewing as a hobby, but also on themselves & the way they travel through the issues that plague all sewists. Very helpful tips. I would highly recommend you add this to your library of podcasts.
Relaxing and Informative
Love the blend of self help and sewing advice this pod offers. It really makes you think about why you’re doing something as well as giving advice on how to do it.
Always a good time
The day I know this podcast comes out each week I will check and refresh the app with increasing frequency until the newest episode arrives. I prioritise listening that same evening while sewing or crafting!
The lovely hosts share funny stories, thoughtful messages, and effective tips on a huge variety of topics applicable to not only sewing but also to life.
I love the format of each episode, with the ice breaker, discussion, tips, recap and key takeaways.
Seamwork Radio is always a good time and something I look forward to every week!
