In this video I’m doing a proper little love letter to the makes that absolutely stole my heart in 2025 — the pieces I reached for again and again, the ones that made me feel like my handmade wardrobe was really working. If you’re planning your 2026 sewing list and you want ideas that actually earn their hanger space, this is basically my highlight reel: capsule-friendly heroes, statement layers, and those “I can’t believe I made that” wins. I chat through the patterns that delivered the biggest wardrobe impact for me, from a cool-girl Biker Jacket (yes, I’m still obsessed) to dresses that feel easy to wear but still look put-together, plus a couple of blouses that scratch that “special details” itch without being too fussy. I also point you to the vlogs for each make so you can see the full process, the fabric choices, and all the real-life chaos in between. Takeaway-wise: my favourite makes are the ones that play nicely with the rest of my capsule, feel good on my actual body, and make me want to get dressed — even when the sewing room is a mess.
