About This Video

In this Friday Sews episode, I’m kicking off my winter sewing plans and recommitting to showing up here more consistently through the colder months. I chat about what I’m wearing, what’s working (and what’s not), and why my winter wardrobe always seems to need a little extra thought—because staying warm is great, but I still want to feel like “me” in what I’m wearing. If you’re sewing over 50, you probably get it: comfort matters, but fit and proportions matter just as much. I also share some new fabric and walk you through my newest make: the Love Notions La Bella Donna Top. It’s the kind of top I reach for in winter because it layers well and gives me an easy, pulled-together look without a ton of fuss. Then I talk through what’s next on my sewing list—pattern ideas, wardrobe gaps I’m trying to fill, and how I’m planning to sew my way through winter with more intention (and fewer “why did I make this?” moments).
