Show Notes
Welcome and thank you so much for tuning in for this episode. This week I want to tackle a topic that I noticed myself struggling with and that is getting stuck in student mode, faffing and procrastinating. That was until I discovered the Power of Practice!
Do you suffer from any of these? Do you watch hours of youtube videos, or attend lots of courses, or maybe start but don't finish lots of projects?
Well that was me. I found myself doing all of these and not actually feeling like I was making progress. In fact I felt the opposite - overwhelmed by all the new information and guilty for never seeming to finish anything.
So in this episode you will hear: > how lessons from the film The Matrix helped me break my cycle of procrastination > how you can spot the signs of being stuck in this mode > why watching the video or reading the book isn't enough > the power of putting into practice > 10 steps to take effective action, stop the faff and ditch the guilt
Useful links and resources: > The Power of Practice Workbook > Wikipedia: The Matrix > Youtube: The Matrix - I know Kung Fu
If you do take action and want to be accountable then be sure to contact me via the website or DM as I'd love to hear about your experiences.

When we are making clothes for ourselves, the process of creating and fitting those clothes is intimately tied to our bodies. And if there is internal conflict or self-doubt associated with our body then that can impact our enjoyment and success in creating garments that we love.
It's coming up to the festive season and if you are like me, you might be thinking about sewing with silky festive fabrics. It's also a time when we might want to create outfits with particular design features that give them more of a dressy feel.
