I’m FINALLY posting my Rome F***y Pack! 🙌🏾🧵

I’ve been sick, so this post is a little overdue, but I finally took my Rome F***y Pack by Brittany J Jones for a spin at work on Thursday, and let me tell you… she held up GOOD! 👏🏾

I used twill for the exterior, and I’m really happy with how sturdy and structured it feels. And if this bag looks familiar, that’s because I made the entire thing on YouTube LIVE! 😳😂. All the shenanigans were documented. The seam ripper came out several times trying to make this second one from memory.

There’s just something satisfying about actually USING something you made. It’s one thing to finish a project and admire it in the sewing room… but taking it out into the real world is the true test. 😂

Rome passed! ✅

Now that I’ve officially tested her out, I’m already thinking about what fabric I’d use for the next one for Winter. 👀

Would you make a f***y pack—and what color would yours be?

🤔 Did Burda play it a little too safe this time AGAIN? Video dropped on YouTube 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️

The newest Burda Summer Pattern Collection is here, and after reviewing 25/30 new patterns, I kept asking myself the same question...

Are we getting wardrobe staples... or just more of the same thing?

In my latest YouTube video, I review every single pattern and share:
🧵 My favorite picks
🛍️ Which patterns I'm buying
🙅🏽‍♀️ Which ones I'm passing on
💭 My honest thoughts on the entire collection

Now it's your turn...

👇🏽 What's your overall opinion?

❤️ I loved it!
👍 Pretty solid overall.
🤔 Too many basics.
💸 I'm saving my money this time.

Tell me your favorite pattern number in the comments! I'd love to know which design earned a spot in your sewing plans, if any!!! 😂😂😂😂

📌 Save this post for your next pattern shopping trip and tag your favorite sewing friend so we can compare "wish lists"!

Happy National Sewing Machine Day! 🧵✨

Meet my ride or die: the Brother Innovis N3600D. After countless projects, sew-alongs, capsule wardrobes, and handmade garments, this machine continues to deliver.

One of the biggest lessons I've learned? It's not about the price tag. It's about knowing your machine.

Master these three things:
✔️ Tension settings
✔️ Presser foot selection
✔️ Needle size

Those skills will improve your sewing more than most machine upgrades ever will.

What sewing machine are you using right now? Tell me in the comments! 👇🏽

The fly front zipper doesn't have to be scary. I promise.

I'm sewing McCall's 8632 start to finish — trousers turned Bermuda shorts in a sold-out House of Mami Wata Ankara print . Fly front zipper, functional pockets, and a clean waistband finish. Every step, no skipping.

This is the sew-along I wish I had when I was learning pants construction. Watch the full video on YouTube NOW— link in my bio. 👆🏽 Save this post so you don't lose it. 📌

🧵 NEW VIDEO IS LIVE AT 1PM! 🧵

McCall's Summer Pattern Drop 👀

I reviewed the McCall's Summer patterns and sorted them into three categories:
✔️ Sew It
❌ Skip It
🛒 Add To Cart

Some patterns had me ready to pull out my debit card immediately, while others left me with questions. 😂

If you're pattern shopping, planning your next project, or just love seeing new releases, this one is for you.

Head over to YouTube to hear the shenanigans like always and tell me:

❤️ Which patterns are your favorite?
🛒 Which one are you buying?

Behind every sewing video, Reel, thumbnail, and project… there’s a LOT of planning happening behind the scenes 👀✂️

I decided to take y’all inside my real content creator routine — from planning ideas and filming sewing tutorials to editing videos, creating thumbnails, and scheduling uploads 📅🎥🧵.

One thing I’ve learned as a sewing creator and creative entrepreneur is this: consistency gets easier when you create systems that work for YOU 💕. All the deets are on YouTube now!!!!

Some days are:
✂️ Cutting days
🎥 Filming days
🖥️ Editing days
📱 Upload days

…and honestly? Sewing is sometimes the EASY part 😂

I hope this video encourages other small creators, sewing creators, and creative entrepreneurs to keep showing up, even when the process feels overwhelming. Your creativity matters 💖

What part of content creation takes YOU the longest? 👀👇
