In this video, I’m looking back on my sewing year and sharing my biggest wins and my biggest fails from 2025. I talk through what actually worked in real life (the pieces I reached for, the projects that felt worth the time, and the makes that helped me build a more thoughtful handmade wardrobe) and what didn’t (the things that looked cute in theory but fell apart in practice). It’s very much a “what did I learn from wearing this?” kind of roundup—because that’s the whole point of slow fashion for me. I also share the takeaways I’m carrying into the new year: being honest about fit and comfort, choosing projects that match my lifestyle, and letting “not a failure, just data” be the vibe when something doesn’t turn out. If you’re planning your next sewing year, I hope this gives you permission to celebrate your wins, learn from the flops, and keep your handmade wardrobe goals grounded in what you’ll actually wear. And I’d love to hear your best and worst makes of the year too—tell me what surprised you most.
