Sewing Room Tour + Hand Embroidered Victorian Coat | Starting Over in Midlife

Описание: Welcome back! After nearly a year away from YouTube, I'm inviting you into my new sewing room, freshly set up in my small, light-filled basement apartment here in Colorado.

This video is a sewing room tour, a creative update, and a personal reflection.

My belongings have just arrived from overseas after a major international move, and I'm finally settling into a simpler, more grounded life as a full-time maker. In this video, I share:

A peek at my new sewing space
A long-overdue update on my hand-embroidered Victorian evening coat (now three years in the making)
Thoughts on creative sovereignty, artistic identity, and coming through a midlife unraveling

🪡 If you're into historical hand embroidery, Victorian costume making, slow fashion, or building a soulful, intentional creative life, this is for you.

📦 Whether you're here for the sewing room setup, the velvet coat progress, or a quiet reflection on what it means to start over creatively in midlife (or any life stage), I hope you feel warmly welcomed and inspired to honour your own path as an artist too.

✨ Toward the end of the video, I speak about what it’s been like to navigate a midlife crisis (as Brené Brown describes it, a “slow, brutal unravelling”) and how it led me back to myself and to a deep commitment to living life on my own terms.

Maybe you’re feeling that tug too. Maybe you’re ready to make your art a priority. If so, you’re in the right place.
