ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Why do our fabric stashes keep growing even when we already have more than we can sew? In this episode, Sarai and Haley explore the emotional side of stash-building — from the scarcity mindset that drives impulse buys to the guilt that keeps us avoiding our own fabric drawers. They share practical strategies for auditing your stash, letting go of what no longer serves you, and turning what remains into a curated resource you're genuinely excited to sew from.
