This video is me properly drawing a line in the sand and saying: my zero waste sewing journey starts now. I’m sharing my 2026 action plan for making my sewing more sustainable and more frugal—without pretending I’ll suddenly become a perfectly tidy, perfectly ethical sewing robot. The whole point is to keep making things I actually use (home bits, wardrobe bits, the practical stuff) while getting way more intentional about what I buy, what I keep, and what I do with the scraps I’m already drowning in. I talk through the mindset shift: treating waste as a design problem, not just an annoying by-product. That means repurposing older fabrics, leaning into scrap-busting projects, and experimenting with patterns and drafting approaches that create minimal offcuts. I also point you to a bunch of extra vlogs and tutorials—because I’m not gatekeeping the good scrappy ideas. If you’ve been wanting to start zero waste sewing but feel overwhelmed, this is your permission slip to start messy, start small, and build systems that actually fit real life.
