Are Burda patterns easy to follow?
I get asked this question a lot “Are Burda patterns difficult”? In this podcast I answer the question from the viewpoint of growth vs fixed mindsets. Burda is a different approach to sewing and if you are willing to try I provide some strategies to help you along the way to a Burda sewing journey. We are diving into why you need to realise that learning anything new requires activation energy especially when its sewing with a sewing magazine!.

Whats in this episode:
- the difference between a growth vs fixed mindset
- comfort zones and how to step out
- why hard challenging things can be a good thing
- 3 strategies to keep motivated when thing get tough
What to do next:

Chatting about why I dont do New Years Resolutions or the famous ReSEWlutions especially at the beginning of the year. Talking about what I use instead - the purge and prune method as well as looking over experiences that had the most positive impact.

This is a potentially different way of enriching your sewing life holistically since it isn't just about sewing more things or using up fabric stash.

Its more of an attempt to line up sewing with higher values like mastery and the joy of curiosity.
Enjoy!
