Keeping a Sewing Journal with Meg from Meg Made Sewing // EP47 Jul 22, 2019

How does paper play into your sewing projects? Do you plan what you're making in advance in a notebook? Sketch your ideas for a great new garment? Keep track of your measurements and pattern modifications with sticky notes? Or, maybe do none of these at all? This week on the Maker Style Podcast we've got Meg from @megmadesewing on the show to share the ins and outs of her SEWING JOURNAL - a paper place where she keeps all of her sewing notes, ideas, and projects! As someone that doesn't have a real paper component to my sewing practice, I was so inspired to hear how Meg keeps track of her ideas - and I've been brainstorming on little ways I could implement a sewing journal of my own ever since!
