🪡 Sew What’s Next?
(A Word of Encouragement for Makers Like You)
This post is for beginner sewists who are wondering what to make next, how to stay motivated, and whether it’s okay to be imperfect.
🌷 Need a Pep Talk?
Starting sewing can be exciting — and surprisingly emotional.
Take a deep breath, maker.
You’ve gathered your supplies, picked your fabric, met your machine, and stitched your first seams. That’s already a lot — go you.
Now comes the fun (and sometimes tangled) part: actually learning to sew and deciding what to make next.
Crooked seams? Totally normal.
Fabric that frays? Been there.
Thread that tangles? Welcome to the club.
This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about play.
It’s about patience.
It’s about discovering what lights you up — even when you’re still a beginner.
🧵 A Note from Me to You
This journey isn’t just yours — it’s mine too.
I’m gently nudging myself back into my own sewing practice. Letting go of the pressure to “do it right,” and choosing instead to turn sparkly ideas into stitched realities — crooked seams and all.
Sew What by Winter is my stitched-in promise to show up creatively.
To make space for joy, mess, and magic.
And to remind myself (and you) that learning to sew is also learning to be kind to yourself.
✂️ What to Sew Next? (When You’re a Beginner)
Start small. Sew something silly.
Make a pillowcase, a scrunchie, or a dog cape (even if you don’t have a dog).
You don’t need a “real” project yet.
You just need to start stitching.
