In this video I’m basically saying “hey friend!” and giving you a proper welcome to J Sew Tastic—where sewing, fashion, and upcycle creativity all meet in one place. I’m a beginner sewist, so I’m not coming to you like I have it all figured out. I’m learning in real time, trying things, making wearable pieces, and figuring out my personal style as I go—and I want you to feel like you can do that too. I also chat about what I’ve got going on for my last project of the year and what I’m planning to use to make it happen. I’m sharing the fabric scraps I’ll be pulling for the top, plus I’m showing what I picked up in a quick Amazon haul and a Dollar Tree haul. It’s a mix of sewing-related goodies and budget finds that I’m hoping will help my next make come together. If you like thrift flips, upcycles, and “let’s see how it goes” sewing energy, you’re in the right place—because that’s exactly how I sew.
