Wearing my winter wardrobe, granny square vest, creating my sewing nook, 6 years of sobriety!

January and February felt like months for slowing down. Instead of rushing into the year, I let myself rest, make space, and move thoughtfully, both in my wardrobe and in my home. These months included gentle decluttering, creating a small sewing nook, refreshing my winter clothes with familiar silhouettes, and quietly celebrating six years of sobriety. Sewing continues to be more than a hobby for me. It’s a way of listening to my body, my energy, and what actually supports me in daily life. I’m learning to choose clothes that don’t ask me to change or fix myself, and to let go of what feels draining, even when it’s “perfectly fine.” Thank you so much for your pattern suggestions! I’m looking forward to sewing the Breeze Shirt by Twig and Tale and the Olene Pants by Charlie Darwin Textiles next. If your year is unfolding slowly too, you’re not behind. February can be a quiet place to land. Thank you for being here in The Calm Burrow. 🤍Cheryl Instagram: thecalmburrow   / thecalmburrow   soberhobbit   / soberhobbit   @Sewliberated https://sewliberated.com/ Olene Pants: https://www.charliedarwintextiles.com...
