The first things I do when I wake up is brush teeth, take morning meds, and exercise and often do scripture writing! Love your show and all of your new patterns!
Thank you Sara for sharing your manifesto. Very brave. I share the same feelings. Another great bag lab. Thanks for always sharing your talents with us.
Absolutely LOVE your manifesto!!! We have a few household “rules,” one of which is: “say what you mean and mean what you say.” It takes the “pressure” off the speaker as well as the listener because it’s universally agreed that it’s okay to say what you want/need 💯
I totally relate to the manifesto. Thank you. The first thing I do in the morning is take the dogs out to run around in the backyard. While they are doing that I think about what I am going to sew after work!
The first thing I do when I wake up (5 am) each weekday morning is drink about 8 ounces of water, then I brush my teeth, shower, get dressed and have breakfast. I have the honor of taking care of my 21 month old grandson (and sometimes his 4 1/2 year old sister) and so I like to be fed and dressed when he arrives around 8 am.
Wow Sara… so glad I got to share this personal moment with ya… your reality in the last few months are not age related rather… I am a people pleaser too and have to fight the I don’t care attitude to others too😊
Thank you for sharing the things you have been learning on your journey It encourages me and probably many others to explore our own possibilities i wake up most mornings stretching and wiggling my way towards a new day of organized tasks , planned and unplanned,new and seasoned experiences Usually coffee
Appreciated your manifesto. You and I have a lot in common. You are creating some great coping strategies. 😊 My family knows to give me sewing time on the weekends and they are great about giving it to me. So important. Hugs to you, Sara.
Thanks for sharing your manifesto! Stating your needs is an important skill. Being able to articulate them is a skill, too, and one I have difficulty with. Jan
Hi Danny & Sara, Another great show! I can relate to you Sara in many ways. I will relisten to The Sewing Machine, I was just thinking about the book. There were a couple mysteries in it if I remember right. I hope that Violet and William are off to a good school year.
Thank you so much for sharing your whole and true self with us. You are amazing and your willingness to share your vulnerabilities makes you even more so. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Sara, thank you for sharing your story. It's inspirational! I am sure it resonates with many people. Before you talked about your story, I thought to myself how much more happy you are exuding. It's written all over your face. All the best to you, Danny & your kids. Thanks again for sharing. 😊
Hello! First thing in the morning lately I’ve been closing the windows. it’s been getting a bit chilly in the mornings here in California. Have a great month and thank you for all the new patterns. How exciting!!😊
I finally spent my Mom's day gift card money from 2 years ago on the latest pattern set. I also used my 15% off and the leftover gift card money to purchase another pattern I'd been wanting for awhile. My out of pocket cost was $2.75 for which I'm pleased.
I don’t know if you consider this as a skill, but I have a photographic memory, this helps me at work because I can remember where things are in the warehouse, either in the steel or on the floor and what time we would get certain things in.
This was a great show. You seem so grounded and confident. I love the addition of the hack. It would be great for crochet hooks, or knitting needles on a notions bag. The first thing I do in the morning is take the dog out. She is not good at waiting.
I use a variety of materials for straps, depends on the size of the bag, the pattern recommendations, whether I have what I need or will have to buy something, and other factors. I have used good quality cotton webbing in the 1" width the most often. I also bought a few dog leashes that were 1/2" wide to use on some small bags. The leashes came in some pretty colors that really suited my fabric.
For straps I use several different substrates including seatbelt webbing, cotton webbing, faux leather, cork. I like the look of cotton webbing but generally use it only on summer bags. Winter bags I use seatbelt webbing or other weather resistant materials
I had to think about what I actually do each morning. Before retiring at the beginning of this year, I used to immediately check my phone for messages about work. Since retiring, I turn on the TV to check either local news or one of the national news channels to find out what happened overnight.
I missed the show tonight, I went huckleberry picking with my oldest son and we left at 8 am this morning to beat the heat and got home after the show which was 5 pm my time. And promptly fell asleep on the couch.
My morning starts with usually laying in bed for a bit... the amount of time depending upon what day it is. M-F is work, but still need that me time in the AM. :)
As soon as I wake up I go get coffee and my iPad and take them back to bed. Then, while I’m enjoying my coffee, I catch up on all the emails from the day before.
You morning manifesto is great my morning routine is shower eat breakfast, brush teeth, walk the dog, go to the gym for a 45 minute workout, come home & sew! For 2-3 hours if no one needs me for anything
I like quilting cotton for straps, but I just made a strap with cotton webbing and quilting cotton and I love it!
Pretty fabrics

I feed my dogs first then shower, brush my teeth and watch You Tube videos while getting ready for work. Look forward to yours each month.

What an Epic Case! So much attention to detail!
Yes the new free pattern will be great as I make things for free a local Nursing home. Need it. Thank you!!!!
Watching the replay. Thanks for the tip about raising up the needle a little before the pivot to avoid a skipped stitch.

Yay! I’m so excited I can purchase separate. I really wanted the iron cover and the pouch but thought it was the groups of patterns you sell.
My hobby is fostering puppies for Aloha Ilio Rescue…Ilio is dog in Hawaiian. Brings me a great feeling of fulfillment.
My favourite strap substrate is PPE webbing. And I just saw that Audible has the book "The Sewing Machine" so I will add that to my library.

Hello all from Orangevale, Calif. Such a lovely fall day
I like to use cotton webbing for bag handles. Nice show - thank you.
I don’t know if you consider this as a skill, but I have a photographic memory, this helps me at work because I can remember where things are in the warehouse, either in the steel or on the floor and what time we would get certain things in.
Great Bag Lab! First thing I do is feed the kitty!
I’ve used quilting cotton and strapping for my straps.
Great Idea ,on the bag
Great show
Thank you for the new free pattern - sounds like something my friend could use.
This was a great show. You seem so grounded and confident. I love the addition of the hack. It would be great for crochet hooks, or knitting needles on a notions bag. The first thing I do in the morning is take the dog out. She is not good at waiting.
Most mornings I like to start with writing a list.
I use a variety of materials for straps, depends on the size of the bag, the pattern recommendations, whether I have what I need or will have to buy something, and other factors. I have used good quality cotton webbing in the 1" width the most often. I also bought a few dog leashes that were 1/2" wide to use on some small bags. The leashes came in some pretty colors that really suited my fabric.
Horse back rider ❤ love horses 🐎
The very first thing I do each morning is feed my 14 year old kitty then fix my coffee. Love all of the patterns, they are all amazing.
For straps I use several different substrates including seatbelt webbing, cotton webbing, faux leather, cork. I like the look of cotton webbing but generally use it only on summer bags. Winter bags I use seatbelt webbing or other weather resistant materials
I get up brush my teeth, wash my face and take a 2+ mile walk before the sun comes up! Morning is my absolute Favorite!
I wake up to go to the bathroom and head to the mall for a quick bite, take a short walk, come back home to start working on my crafts!
Lovely bags
Don’t know if Amy has made them all, but loving the recent collection of Star Wars themed bags!!
I have used reinforced quilt cotton, cotton on webbing & seat belt strapping
First thing I do is make and drink coffee.
I like to use seatbelt webbing the most for straps but sometimes use quilting cotton or cotton webbing.
I had to think about what I actually do each morning. Before retiring at the beginning of this year, I used to immediately check my phone for messages about work. Since retiring, I turn on the TV to check either local news or one of the national news channels to find out what happened overnight.
The small iron bag fabric with chickadees with fabric from Hawthorne is called. Birdies in turquoise
Love the sweater!
Love your manifesto especially if it helps to enable you to speak out ❤

Great quilt book 📚
Very exciting for the walker caddy!
I always have coffee first thing in the morning.
4 great patterns.
Love the crochet folder
I missed the show tonight, I went huckleberry picking with my oldest son and we left at 8 am this morning to beat the heat and got home after the show which was 5 pm my time. And promptly fell asleep on the couch.
The first thing I usually do is take care of the pets. I work nights, so I'm flipped around 🤭
Great show, looking forward to using my 15% coupon.
Depending on the bag, I like all straps
I head straight to the coffee pot 😊
My morning starts with usually laying in bed for a bit... the amount of time depending upon what day it is. M-F is work, but still need that me time in the AM. :)
I take my synthesis medication then sit down to play a few games of Shanghai on my phone. This gets my brain going for a day of problems solving.
Inspiring Manifesto!
The first thing I do is thank God and then I'm thinking about that cup of tea 😋😂
Usually I look out a window to see what the weather is doing!
Bagmaking is my unique skill/hobby 😆
As soon as I wake up I go get coffee and my iPad and take them back to bed. Then, while I’m enjoying my coffee, I catch up on all the emails from the day before.
pretty fabrics
Pretty, pretty
As for hobbies I like to go sailing 🎉 own my boat and solo sail her and enjoy that.
The first thing I do in the morning after expressing gratitude for another day is take a shower.
My unique skill is Kumihimo, Japanese braiding, & Cooking/Baking
I use vinyl/faux leather or seat belt webbing for my straps.
I always have my coffee first thing. I drink it while I check email and then watch some RUclips videos.
