Episode 212: Creativity, Craft and Clutter with Shams el-Din Rogers

Zoe Edwards· Host0:00

I'm guessing that most of us find that a cluttered crafting space affects our creativity. It can also lead to overbuying when you repurchase something that you already own but you weren't able to locate, or maybe you forgot you even had it. Very good friend of the podcast, Shams Elden Rogers, is back to talk to me about the tactics that she's been using to get her space in check and the impact that it's having on her creativity. Maybe these are tactics that would work for you. Stick around a few minutes and we'll get into it. Welcome to Check Your Thread, the podcast that will help you sew more sustainably. [upbeat music] My name's Zoe and I'm obsessed with sewing. I've been blogging about it for over 17 years and I'm the creator and host of the popular handmade wardrobe challenge, Me Made May. But like many people, I've become increasingly concerned about the climate and ecological crises, and I'm looking at the way that my lifestyle contributes to them. So in this podcast, I'll be nerding out about making clothes whilst exploring how to minimize the negative impact that it may have. I really hope you'll join me in this journey. Hi, lovely. Hope you're doing okay. Right. So first off, I must apologize for the technical issue we had, which cut off the introduction on the previous two episodes. Both have now been corrected, but it's super annoying because most people would've heard those episodes without the context that I like to give and without the sustainability wins that I added, and the amazing people who signed up via Patreon over the last month might have missed being thanked by name. So I wanna quickly thank the following epic people again. Leslie, Harriet,
