🍂 THE FALL/WINTER 2026 GUIDE IS HERE 🔗 Available at the link in bio and on my Buy Me A Coffee Page
This Guide is basically everything I wanted to put in one place about the materials we wear, buy and work with during autumn and winter.
Because there is a lot of very vague information about fabric out there. 👉 “Wool is warm” 👉 “Synthetic is bad” 👉 “Natural is better” 👉 “Waterproof” apparently means whatever a brand wants it to mean
And then you look at a composition label and you’re supposed to somehow make an informed decision from “65% polyester, 30% wool, 5% something.” So I went much deeper.
Inside you’ll find:
→ natural, synthetic & artificial fibers: where they come from and how they actually behave → weave & construction: including why twill, gabardine and corduroy are not the same thing → modern technical fabrics: what they’re actually good at and where the marketing gets a little… creative → waterproof vs. water-resistant, properly explained → shoe materials → accessories that actually make a difference when it comes to warmth
And I made it with both sides of the wardrobe in mind.
⭐️ If you buy clothes, the goal is to help you better understand what you’re paying for, rather than relying on words like “premium”, “luxury” or “natural” to do all the thinking for you. ⭐️ If you make clothes, it helps you understand materials beyond simply knowing what they’re called: how they behave, how they’ll feel, what they’re good for, and why one fabric can work beautifully for one project and terribly for another.
There are also cheat sheets. Obviously.
The guide is $20, and you can get it at my Buy Me A Coffee page or at the link in bio.
Your "wool blend" sweater might be mostly acrylic. Your "linen blend" trousers might be mostly polyester.
In the new video I go through every common natural+synthetic blend (cotton+polyester, wool+nylon, wool+acrylic, and more) and break down exactly what each percentage on the label actually means for how the fabric feels, wears, and lasts.
Once you know what to look for, you'll never read a care label the same way again. Full video is up now: https://youtu.be/3eiiSFVrqV8
Polyester is everywhere. But is synthetic fabric actually as bad as we’re told?
In my new video, I break down polyester, nylon, acrylic, elastane and more — how they work, why they were invented, their benefits, and their environmental costs.
People often assume sewing your own clothes is all about saving money. That couldn't be farther from the truth! If you'd know the prices of fabric, tools, buttons, zippers, thread, needles... 😩
I sew because I can choose the fabric, the construction, the fit, and make sure the garment fits my body the way I want it.

Synthetics: good or bad?
Polyester is everywhere. But is synthetic fabric actually as bad as we’re told?
In my new video, I break down polyester, nylon, acrylic, elastane and more — how they work, why they were invented, their benefits, and their environmental costs.

🎉 I finally turned my Dictionary Series into something you can keep.
I’ve started collecting the illustrations from my videos into downloadable Clothing Dictionary PDFs, and Volume 1 is now available.
It includes necklines, sleeves, collars, skirts, jackets, dress silhouettes and more – all in one place instead of scattered across videos.
To celebrate reaching 10,000 followers on Instagram, Volume 1 is completely free.
More volumes are already on the way 🤍
🔗 Download it through the link in my bio.
Note: Slide 2 includes AI generated visuals
