After a six-month break that turned into a full-blown life reset, I’m back—and kicking things off with a deep dive into one of sewing’s most slippery challenges: silk. This post isn’t just about fabric; it’s about rebuilding, reconnecting, and reclaiming joy in the process. Whether you’re silk-curious or just here for the vibes, come along for the ride.

Explore my experience with No-Buy September as I focus on spending less and buying only what I need. I'll share the ups and downs of this challenge and explain how it’s helping me save money, clear out clutter, and be more mindful.

Discover how sewing and upsizing clothes helped me embrace my body and find freedom from fashion insecurities. Learn my tips and lessons, plus insights on self-acceptance and personal growth.

As I dive deeper into this sewing journey, I'm hoping to connect with others who, like me, are navigating the challenges of finding a community centered around BIPOC queer sewists. I'm looking to link up with those who represent diverse identities and fashion styles.
