Do you often find you sew accompanied by an uninvited guest: your inner critic? That little voice that questions your skills, doubts your decisions, and convinces you that your creative work is not good enough?

If so, Sarai and Haley have some tips to banish your inner critic—or at least learn to tolerate its presence.

We’re taking a break from the podcast for the holidays, so we’re re-airing some of our favorite episodes. This episode is one of our faves because we show you how to recognize, manage, and even quiet that pesky inner critic when you sit down to sew.
