Happy New Year everyone! 🎉✨
Here’s to a fabulous, creative 2026 full of sewing, knitting, and making clothes we truly love to wear.
I just want to say a huge thank you to all of you who watch, comment, and interact on my videos. I genuinely love reading your comments and chatting with you — it really feels like we’re building a lovely creative community here, and I’m so grateful for your support.
If you’re newer to the channel, do have a browse through my playlists — there are lots of sewing and knitting techniques, full tutorials, and inspiration Shorts to help you make your own clothes with more confidence.
Looking ahead, I’m already thinking about what I’d love to film next, and I’d really like your input.
👉 Are there any sewing or knitting techniques you’d like help with?
👉 Any garments, skills, or problems you’d love to see explained in a future video?
I’m also learning which types of videos you enjoy most, so your feedback really helps guide what I create.
A little life update too — I have Shorts videos scheduled throughout January and February, but I’m currently in the middle of a house move and renovation, so filming new long-form videos will be tricky for a short while. My plan is to be back with new tutorials in early spring, once things settle down.
Thank you so much for sticking with me, for watching, and for being part of this channel. I hope you’ll continue to find inspiration, help, and encouragement here — and I can’t wait to make more videos for you very soon.
Wishing you a creative and cosy start to the year 🧵🧶
✨ Let me know in the comments what you’d love to see next!

Hi everyone! I’ve been busy filming, and I can’t wait to share my next video with you. This week I’ll be showing you my first 6 months on YouTube. It's been an amazing ride and I'm so happy that you are a part of it.
It’s a chatty 'Get to know me' video where I show how I film and discuss assorted thoughts and findings on my journey to create and deliver videos for you. I’ll also share a few little tips I’ve picked up along the way.
I’m really excited about this one, and I hope it inspires you in your own sewing and knitting projects. 💕 Please look out for this video this week.
💬 In the meantime, I’d love to know: what are you working on right now?

Wishing a huge welcome to all of you!
I’m so grateful to see so many new people joining me here on YouTube—thank you for your interest in my videos.
Knitting and sewing have been a big part of my life since I was a girl, and I absolutely adore being creative. Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of practice—and of course, that also means making plenty of mistakes along the way! But mistakes are part of the creative journey, and they’re how we truly learn and grow.
Through this channel, I hope to inspire and support you in your own creative projects, while also sharing tips to help you avoid some of the errors I’ve already made. Let’s enjoy the process together and keep creating with joy. 💕

Hi all, thank you so much for your interest in my channel. I hope I am inspiring you in your own creations.
Some of my forthcoming videos are ones that I previously posted but thanks to Youtube algorithms didn't fair so well on views. Here's hoping they reach more of you a second time around.
Enjoy your sewing and knitting over the summer!

There are many ideas going through my mind on what to share with you all. Sewing and knitting, knitting and sewing... my passions for creativity. I've been making my own clothes, accessories and items for the home for most of my life so have plenty of experience to share.
I'm gradually gathering thoughts and items together to create videos to upload building this into a inspirational community, whereby I really hope you are enjoying following the process to make your own wonderful things.
