In this video I’m taking you along on a little sewing road trip vibe—part inspiration mission, part “let’s see what trouble I can get into with new ideas.” I’m heading to a retreat to soak up embroidery sewing inspiration and get a feel for what’s possible with machine embroidery, especially if you’re curious but not sure where to start. It’s very much that real-life sewing energy: a bit of planning, a bit of chaos, and lots of wardrobe thoughts swirling around while I’m on the move. I also share two exciting new patterns I’ve found and want to make as part of my Spring wardrobe, because you know I’m always thinking in capsule terms—what will actually get worn, what will mix and match, and what fills a genuine gap rather than just being a shiny new make. I talk through the pattern inspiration and how I’m thinking about fabric choices, with that practical “will this work in my wardrobe?” lens. If you’re into capsule sewing, pattern hunting, and getting fresh ideas for your next makes (with a side of crafty mess), this one’s for you.
