Lazy Sewing

My view on the concept of lazy sewing, tldr, It doesn't exist.

Decluttering

Why decluttering is hard and how I'm trying to help my mental health by clearing my house of stuff.

Building a Handmade Wardrobe

Or how I began to like myself again.... At the start of this year I decided that I was done spending money on clothes. They cost so much, they never fit me well and the ethics of buying clothes from big stores was a bit depressing. I made a pledge to myself that I wouldn't…

It’s Been A While

I've missed this.... Guys, it's been a while! I haven't written anything for ages and it's been even longer than that since I've written anything that I actually published.
