Season 2 Episode 4: Interview with Melissa Averinos

Declutter and Organize Your Sewing Space

In this episode I interview Melissa Averinos of melissaaverinos.com, an artist, sewist, and quilter who made a huge change in her creative workspace last year by decluttering many of her materials.

In this interview we talk about how she overcame her natural inclinations to keep things, asked herself many questions and approached decluttering from many different angles to encourage herself to let go of what she no longer needed, and created a clearer and more usable workspace as a result.
