I'm thinking calling this now IS the right time and awesome! I'm glad you're being honest and kind to yourself. ❤ . Looking forward to the new format.

The life you want is up to you. Take care Sara and family.

Totally makes sense as an independent designer/company to do a once a month production rather than once a week. Once a week is a lot! If you had a staff, corporate funding, corporate production team etc., once a week could be justified- so I can't believe you (and your husband as the production staff) have done this as long as you have. Quality steers the bus, quantity can fill it later.

Carol Shain, my old neighbor, is my sewing Angel who so patiently got me started sewing!

It shows strength to take what you need to maintain your health, sanity, and joy in your life. Enjoy having a little time to take a breath! ❤

Thank you for being so candid with your thoughts and ideas! You are a lovely caring person and we love you …….and all your wonderful designs and videos! 😛

I will miss the weekly shows but completely understand the need to cut back. Enjoy your extra time! See you in December!

You take care of YOU!! Thank you for all you do. We all appreciate you. We know this must take so much time. You need creative time as well. Know you are loved and that will not change!

I’ve never had people in your group not be kind and helpful.

I want to thank my mom for teaching me to sew. Love you mom. Rebecca

You !,,, you have helped me many times….just listening to all the tips you have given us sofar ! Thank you….❤

you do what is good for your family with no explanation needed

Thank you for all you do for this community!

Hi Sara. You are loved by so many people who are grateful to you for sharing your gift with us... whether it's once a month, once a week, once daily, you have ALWAYS given us quality content. I re-watched the minikins 4 trailer and loved how you have an excitement in your voice that radiates on your face as you were talking about each new pattern in this collection. I'm glad you made this decision... and I look forward to seeing what you will create (pattern wise) in the future. God Bless you and your family. You are blessed! Happy Thanksgiving!

as for me, I welcome the once a month format. I have a hard time getting to KZread by 5p every Sunday. Take care of you.

If I nominate a name of someone who help me the most, that has to be Sara Lawson! When my she dog Mía had her surgery and I was devastated with all my feelings and expenses, you gave me the patterns for free and I considered that was so beautiful and lovely in my desperation I sew to forget the pain. That gives me relieve and I could enter to my first sew along! Another beautiful thing you did for me was when I was one of the selected to received the weekly gift! Oh my God, I scream like crazy at home. And I went back to KZread to make sure you said my name! Thank you, Sara, for being there for me! May Jehovah give you health, happiness and peace for you and your loved ones!

Good for you to be listening to your heart and making a decision that's good for you and your family!

I can't remember exactly, everyone is so kind and helpful in the comments.

I always enjoy social Sunday😀 but I don't usually see it live (I'm in the UK) I'm happy that I'll still be able to watch once a month and all the old videos are still available

I feel that once a week is a good call as you can breathe a little bit more and then it makes the once a month Sunday an extra special day for everyone to really look forward to and enjoy as we will all need to wait for that special day❣️

Sounds wonderful. Designing is your gift! I’ll look forward to once a month!

Thanks Sara! Always take time for yourself...everything else falls into place!!! Looking forward to seeing you monthly! Linda Murphy is always incredibly helpful to me with suggestions for fabric, techniques and sewing in tandem! I nominate her!!!

I’m watching this Nov 30. Happy Birthday Sara!

The live was useful and full of information. Don’t feel bad about cutting back. Do what you need to do for you and your family.

I’m happy to know we will get to see you monthly!

Hope your breaks are restful and allow you to recharge. A weekly show is a huge commitment!

Please take care of yourself, your work and your family! Thank you for your generosity, your talent, and being you! God Bless!

First of all, I have loved learning about new products, patterns or supplies. Thank you for sharing and reviewing! Also, I've learned so many tips, tricks and techniques through the last several years of watching your show. You've helped me tremendously with zippers - installation, using zipper tabs and using zippers by the yard. I love how you always treat each question from your viewers like it's the first time you've been asked that even though you might have answered it earlier in the show. 😅 I pray you are able to make more time to sew and make all the crafts you enjoy. I look forward to whatever shows you produce no matter how often they are. You are a gifted pattern designer and teacher.

i thiink that is great once a month..i cant do every week..and thankyou for all you have taught me..i have learned so much. i will continue learning..you have been a blessing to me especially through covid..i sewed and mad bags everyday..may God bless you in what ever you do..

I nominate Margie Laferriere. It is because of her I found your channel, store, and facebook page. She makes many of your bags and inspires me to make my own bags. She is encouraging and helpful constantly. I wouldn't be a bag maker without her

You helped when you would say 'If I can do it, so can you!'

Wonderful your taking care yourself, looking forward to every month .

Michele Graham is always quick to respond to questions. Bronwen as well

Don t feel bad…..you are so talented….you need time in between for you and your family….and still can design and sew as much as you like….❤❤❤

You take time for us all and you deserve to have the show once a month. You work very hard for us I will be ther to watch once a month. We all deserve more sewing time

Sara thank you for all the years you and Danny have done this weekly podcast. I will miss you on Sundays. Luckily you have built an amazing library of resources for bagmakers, covering so many topics and techniques, that we can literally have you help at the click of a button. Hope you have so much fun with your increased sewing and family and life time. You have earned every minute. Looking forward to next month

You guys do a great job. I have no one to nominate so would prefer a second drawing for anyone else. Good luck going forward.

Bronwyn always helpful and speedy when I manage to post a blank space with the linky tool for the monthly challenges. Thank you!

I just wanted to tell you how appreciative I have of all the little tips you give especially the magnetic snaps I'm using them on everything I love them so much I love all your tips and thank you for being such a great teacher

Definitely take the time to do what is right for you. Once a month is perfect from a viewer perspective. You can never make everyone happy....ever.

totally understand. Enjoy the found time for yourself and to expand the business

Putting yourself first is never selfish. It’s a necessity! Remember that you can always change the schedule as you see fit. No one will be injured if you change things up! Do what works best for you at the time and know that your multitude of fans will always be there for you!

Never feel badly about taking a step back - it helps gain perspective and builds new energy. Thank you for being my sewing mentor and inspiring me to rediscover joy in sewing!

Sara I'm so glad you're taking a step back from Sewcial Sunday! Enjoy your much needed & deserved sewing time!

Do what's good for you and your film. We will love what we get

Once a month is fantastic! What you teach is so beneficial and can be captured monthly! Enjoy your time sewing. I’m looking forward to the next set of patterns.

I will continue to check with Sew Sweetness for updates!💕💕💕

I'm looking forward to the once-a-month show. You both work so hard to bring great content. We all understand and will love seeing you once a month. Thank you and your family for all you do for us. You have made such a difference in my life when it comes to sewing. Take care.

Your new schedule sounds very positive!!! Taking another approach to your business is aleays a grear thing ....i wish you and your family all the best.....and maybe now you can ride more and clear your mind!!! Riding always does that for me!!! Sincerely, Madeleine

Sara, your videos are routinely spectacular and helpful, and you have always been generous with your knowledge and creativity. Wishing you the best with your new schedule. Your plan sounds great! Hoping you and your family enjoy the holidays! :-D

There are lots of your videos that I have not had time to watch…think I’ll use the show time to watch them! Your followers will be here whenever you choose to do a live. Enjoy the break, and get in that sewing room and unleash your creativity!

I look forward to December 3 show and will miss you on Sundays

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Take care of yourself and family. Will look forward to your new patterns.

Sarà, I certainly understand because I can imagine the live shows take quite a bit of time to put together. I will look forward to seeing you and Danny the first Sunday of the month. I look forward to more tutorials and patterns from you. I wish you and your family all the best!!

always love watching your lives hope the new schedule works great for you and gives you lots of creative time life can and is stressful. I would like to nominate Windless Originals always see commenting and talking in chat😀

🌸 You & Danny are always so helpful with all you share!

Hi Sara! Congratulations on making that difficult decision to slow down on social Sunday to give yourself time to grow your skills! I could tell it was difficult for you! I agree with you, there is always something to learn. I personnally will be catching up on the shows I have missed over the years, there is always good content! Best of luck!

Although I’ll miss your weekly show making an adjustment to the schedule to fulfill your sewing passion can only be a good thing. Enjoy spending more time doing what you love Sara 😊

You clearly are so thoughtful in making this decision. I respect and admire you for this presentation about the change in schedule. I truly believe change is good!! You do what works for you , and we all benefit. See you in December 💗💗💗

I thank you for the update and applaud your decision. Once a month will be a great format. I appreciate Wendy Simpson on the live shows when I am able to watch it live. She greets everyone with a nice message and seems to remember everything from weeks past. It feels like a community. I hope that is the correct last name for Wendy. You can find her usually at the beginning of the live chats .

I nominate Dawn Tenneson. She is always kind an welcoming.

Sara, you have taught us all so much. No matter the sewing prowess, everybody learns something. We support you in any decisions you make for your company, for your family, and yourself!

I want to nominate Charlie MacDonald. We met at an in person Sew Sweetness state group gathering before Covid. I love being able to bounce sewing and bag related ideas off him and cherish our friendship.

I have a friend Delma who I make bags for and she is so appreciative, and she’s my go to when I need help with quilting

Sara, I can only imagine how much time and effort goes into making your weekly show. I appreciate how long you have been doing them weekly and you shouldnt feel badly for switching to monthly. You are entitled to do what works best for you and your family. I will look forward to your monthly shows. Thank you for all you do!!!

I’d nominate Bronwyn, she was very patient in responding to my questions.

I just heard your news about going to once a month and honestly, that will make me tune in more often! I always miss the live show and watch the replays but a once-a-month show will seem more "special" and I'll be more inclined to join live on the first Sunday of every month. :)

If you are not able to have free time to do what makes you happy then you need to step back. You are not leaving us just changing it up a bit.

Jaime's bag is so adorable. I just got my waxed canvas. Looks and feels so nice.

The right people will hear you differently. You never hav to make an effort to make them understand what your heart says ...Pryankary We can live with one show a month. You deserve to have a happy life and not work every minute to satisfy a crowd. Enjoy sewing yourself and we will still love you.

Another great video! TY See u on Dec 3rd. Happy Thanksgiving.

Never apologize for doing things for yourself and your family. You give so much to this community of bag makers. Will miss seeing you weekly, but you need to take your time. Thanks for all you do.

You GO girl!

We will support you in all you do. You have given us so much. I’ll miss the weekly show but I have personally gleaned so much from your expertise. I look forward to seeing your beautiful sewing projects and I know I will get better as you get better too 😊

I love your shows

Bell has been hit! Do what you need to do honey

Congratulations 🎉

Thanks for tonight live. I wish you all the best and will look forward to the new schedule. There are so many people on your chat that are helpful. I would like to nominate Dalva Serrano (I think that's her last name.) I always see her in chats and helping others.

Michelle Graham has always been helpful to me.

Sherry Mecurio! She set up the different states clubs!

Too bad I am not a facebook freak….and never look there for help…..my generation ? Fear to use facebook…. Don t know….but knowing that I could ask you for help is a great support …..thank you❤❤

Your pattern and videos are the best

You guys do a great job

It’s about balance in life. As a creative person, it’s very demanding to produce “shows” each week. I’m sure your customers will still support your work and continue to follow your creative genius.

Good for you, Sara, for making more time to do what you love! Happy sewing!!

Great live!

Awesome

See you next month

Sara, you are an incredibly talented bag artist. I appreciate your patterns and videos. I think it is important for you to take the time you need to regroup, regenerate, and reenergize yourself. You also need time for yourself to sew, which is vital to us creative types. I can’t imagine anyone not understanding you changing your video schedule to once monthly. You and Danny deserve our thanks for all you do. Happy Thanksgiving to you. I’ll see you in December. ❤️🪡🧵

I would like to nominate Suzanne Mazzoula (last name spelled wrong, I am sure). Suzanne is very active in your FB group and always positive and uplifting!

Thank you for all the weekly shows! I’ve often wondered how you do it and if you had time to sew. Doing a monthly show will give you more time for family and sewing. Take time for you Sara and take care of you. ❤️❤️❤️

❤

Great live

I found it hard to believe you did these shows weekly. I know how much planning they take. I find the community very genuine but can't pick out a specific person.

My husband's cousin has taught me quilting.

I nominate Michele Graham. She is always so helpful. Thank you for another fun show.

Hello from California

Sew in Dec.

I understand what you are saying. I am a disabled veteran. I am not sure why I have not watched you. But I got your email so I must have seen you somewhere. I put on my calendar when you will be on. I hope to learn a lot from you.
