I tried sewing a tote bag as a total beginner (it wasn't perfect) | a cozy sewing vlog 🧵

Описание: In this cozy sewing vlog, I’m working on a DIY tote bag project while navigating creative burnout and the trap of comparison.

Recently, I found myself stuck in a comparison spiral that quietly drained my desire to create. Instead of forcing a big "expert" project, I picked up an unfinished sewing project and followed a tutorial step-by-step.

Whether you're a beginner at sewing, interested in furniture upcycling, or just starting your own creative journey in your 30s, I hope this video feels like company.

In this video:
✿ Finishing a DIY tote bag from Sydney Graham
✿ Overcoming creative self-doubt
✿ Creating stamps from scrap fabric
✿ Sewing tips for beginners (and my denim strap mistake!)
✿ Learning to let go of perfectionism

Sometimes the most important thing isn’t making something perfect—it’s just the act of making.
