Sewing & Knitting Catch Up Ep. 1 | Finished Garments, Knitting WIPs & Book Talk

In today’s episode of my sewing podcast, I’m sharing all the creative projects I’ve been working on lately, including my finished sewing makes, current knitting works in progress, and a quick reading update for fellow book lovers. Whether you're here for dressmaking inspiration, sewing planning, or just love hearing about handmade fashion, you’re in the right place! I’ll walk you through the patterns I used, fabric choices, sewing wins (and lessons learned!), plus what’s currently on my knitting needles – perfect if you're into slow fashion, sustainable style. If you love content around sewing for beginners, me-made wardrobe ideas, and knitting for relaxation, be sure to like, comment, and subscribe. Don’t forget to check the description box for links to all the patterns, books, and tools I mention.
