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.
