If I could start my handmade wardrobe over, I’d do it with way more intention—and a lot less “ooh shiny!” sewing. In this video, I walk through what I wish I knew before I started making (and knitting) so many of my own clothes: what I’d make first, what I’d skip, and the mindset shifts that helped me build a wardrobe that actually gets worn. This is very much a gentle wardrobe reset chat—practical, but also rooted in slow fashion and learning what you truly reach for day to day. I share the big lessons that come from years of trial and error: starting with the basics that support everything else, choosing patterns and fabrics that match your real life (not your fantasy life), and paying attention to fit and comfort so pieces don’t end up as “technically finished” but never worn. I also talk about the value of repeating patterns, making small upgrades over time, and letting your handmade wardrobe evolve—because it’s supposed to. If you’re planning or rebuilding your me-made wardrobe, my goal is to help you start slower, smarter, and with a lot more confidence.
