In this video I’m basically hanging out with y’all and doing a little birthday haul for my new hobby, plus giving a real-life weight loss update. I share some of the items I picked up (yes, your gurl was outside at Walmart and Hobby Lobby) and talk through why I grabbed them and how I’m planning to use them. If you’re into beginner-friendly sewing content, thrift flips, and learning as you go, this one is very much that vibe—just a casual catch-up with some fun new supplies. I also show y’all the upcycle boots I’m working on right now and give an update on where I’m at with the project. I’m still in that “figuring it out as I go” stage, but I love sharing the process because it’s proof you don’t have to be perfect to create something wearable and cute. And on the personal side, I talk about my weight loss journey and where my head is at—wins, progress, and staying motivated. I also let y’all know I’ll be at the Shades of Blue event this weekend and I’m planning to record some footage, so stay tuned, sewtasticers.
