Tara Heilman is the brain behind Robot Inside – a local sewing lab dedicated to helping people – big and small – to learn how to sew. Her work is really cool and a little edgy. She really is the punk-rock Martha Stewart!

Giveaway

You can get into the sewing action!

Tara is generously giving away a FREE sewing 101 class valued at $50! Whether you’re a newbie or just looking for a refresher, this course is for you! And you’ll get to make a cool pillow to take home. Just leave a comment below letting Tara know what you would make if you were learning to sew.

Suggested Interview

Tara wants to hear from Karen Trimble Shell. Karen owns Karen Trimble-Shell Studio – a creative jewelry studio where lots of things are happening. Celebrating 39 years of jewelry making, her studio is the heart of her passion. A primarily self taught silversmith, she has experienced the jewelry industry on both the designer-artisan side and the retailer-merchant side.

Reach Out

You can reach out to thank Tara and see some of her cool punk rock-inspired sewing projects at www.robotinside13.com

Call to Action

Your call to action this week is to schedule everything! Yes, there are 168 hours in a week – I did the math and it checks out – and you should have each and every one of those hours scheduled – even sleep, play time, and watching Penny Dreadful or Hemlock Grove.

    Well, I’m glad I took time to listen to this! My mother tried to teach me how to sew in high school, but i either thought I was too cool or just wasn’t interested. So now, here I am 40 something and can barely sew a patch onto a cub scout uniform! And god forbid, i ever have to make a Halloween costume! ( Yes, you know who I am…LOL!!!). So…..knowing that my mother’s sewing machine will most likely be mine one day, maybe it is time to figure out what to do with it.

    This is great – I’m a big fan of Robot Inside – this is my first time hearing the show and I’ve taken your advice to schedule out my days more thoroughly.
