2025 sewing goals
I thought I'd share some of the tools, techniques, and my general mind set for this new year. How can I grow in my skill and knowledge and move in a direction I desire. Rather than being a passenger in my own sewing life, I've decided to implement these 5 things.
What are your goals for 2025?

Everything I Made This Fall

Checkout everything I made this fall. I spent quite a lot of time stuck in bed this fall not feeling well, so I was unfortunately unable to make everything from my fall sewing plans video. See what I did get up to. Also, please let me appologize for my stuffy, heavy, out of breath, breathing for my 4 most recent videos. I did get covid and spent a really long time stuffed up and sounding a bit ...

    I loved your video! I have just finished embroidering my second Hinterland dress. I love it! I was nervous to do it, but I waited for a vision, and once I had one, I went for it. I have been fantasizing about embroidering my clothing for years. I did some in my youth, but stopped, and thought I should adopt a more grown up look. Well I am 65 now and decided it's now or never! You have great ideas!!! I can't wait to see you bring them to life!

    Thanks, Megan. Those are great goals. My mom tried to teach me to knit when I was young and I never got the hang of it. I have 2 scarves I knit decades ago and wear them. My memory is that she casted on and casted off so there's a bit of her in there too. Love your gallery wall!

I just love the content of your videos, both thrifted and new materials (just like I use) and always quite ”mature” colors and shades, a sort of rustic eclectic style that is just what I love.
