Hi friends—I'm Tiffany (Hoosier Handmade), and in this vlog I’m taking you along with me to a sewing retreat from about a week ago. If you’ve ever wondered what a retreat actually feels like in real life, this is very much a “come with me” kind of video: the travel/arrival vibes, getting settled in, and soaking up that cozy, creative energy that’s so hard to recreate at home. I also share where I went—Village Stitchery’s Retreat Center in Oblong, Illinois—and I’ll link everything so you can check it out for yourself. Retreats are one of my favorite ways to reset my sewjo, connect with other makers, and just enjoy being surrounded by people who get why fabric shopping counts as self-care. If you like sewing community content, behind-the-scenes crafting days, and casual vlog-style sewing inspiration, you’ll feel right at home here.
