Even though I mostly write about sewing on the blog, I do like my tradition of doing a non-sewing look back as well, because I think it adds a lot of context, and it’s a helpful reminder that social media doesn’t always show the full picture. My 2022 Review wasn’t super upbeat, and while I don’t … More 2023: Non-Sewing Year in Review
