About this episode
This week, we’re slowing things down and getting personal talking about the deeper reasons why we sew. For many of us, sewing is so much more than a hobby; it’s a lifeline, a creative outlet, and a way to connect with others. Bethany and Audra explore the mental health benefits of sewing like mindfulness, stress relief, and the joy of tangible accomplishment as well as the physical perks and brain boosts it brings, from improved hand-eye coordination to preserving cognitive function as we age. We also dig into the power of sewing to build connection, community, and confidence, backed by research that proves what sewists have known for years: this craft is good for the soul. Along the way, we share personal stories, listener encouragement, and a few practical tips from Spool School including how painter’s tape can become your new favorite seam guide. 💬 We’d love to know what’s your “why” for sewing?
