2025: The Good, The Bad, & The Lessons + My Plan for 2026

Today’s video is a little different—no editing, just me sitting in my sewing room having a heart-to-heart with you. We are officially in 2026, and it’s time to look back at the whirlwind that was 2025.

First, a huge THANK YOU for helping me reach 10,000 subscribers! Your comments and motivation mean the world to me. ❤️

In this video, I’m sharing how I went from having "no plan" to diving headfirst into craft fairs and vendor shows. I’ll talk about the products that flew off the shelves (hello, Scarf Towel! 🧣), the ones that flopped, and the lessons I learned about displays and pricing.

We also discuss my goals for 2026, including creating cohesive fabric collections, launching new digital patterns, and finding that elusive work-life balance. Whether you have a sewing business or just love to craft, I hope my journey encourages you to "use what you have" and take that leap of faith!
