A Gentle Creative Reset for 2026

Here’s a little truth to begin 2026 with:

Sometimes creativity slips away from us.

Life gets loud, the to-do list explodes, and before we know it our sewing machine hasn’t seen us in weeks.

So I’ve started something new — a series of gentle Creative Reset Conversations on YouTube.

These aren’t tutorials or polished presentations.

They’re simply little honest chats from my sewing corner about finding our way back into colour, fabric, and tiny creative wins… even when life feels messy.

And they’re a small glimpse into what I’m building this year:

Patchwork Play, a warm, friendly online membership for women who want:

  • a creative community, not an algorithm

  • tiny habits that actually feel achievable

  • encouragement without pressure

  • a place to belong

  • colour, joy, and connection… even on the busiest weeks

If that sounds like something that could support you, you can watch the first Creative Reset Conversation below — and join the waitlist if the idea feels right.

Here’s to a year of gentle creativity, shared stories, colourful projects, and finding our flow again — one tiny stitch at a time.
