Check out my 2025 ​Year in Review Video​. I’d love for you to watch it.

This is one of those videos you can put on while you’re doing something else. Fold laundry. Work on a project. Tidy your sewing table. I’ll hang out with you and talk through what I made, researched, explored, and obsessed over this year — a creative body double, whenever you need one.

It’s a look back at a year that was equal parts chaos and creativity:

• Embroidered Santa overalls (yes, Santa rides a dragon)
• Cloaks, skirts, aprons, corsets, and historical garments from Renaissance to 18th century
• Museum costume inspiration from Indianapolis, St. Louis, and beyond
• Wedding dresses, alterations, and heirloom projects
• Teaching dance, teaching sewing, hyperfocus projects, pivots, and restarts
• The best tool I made all year: a dress form that actually looks like me

This video is also a reminder — for me, and maybe for you — that even when life is rough and the house looks like a disaster, a lot still gets done. Sometimes we forget that.

Almost everything you’ll see has footage behind it that hasn’t been edited yet. If a project sparks your curiosity, tell me — your comments genuinely help me decide what to focus on next (hello, ADHD).

If you enjoy: ✔️ slow creative companionship ✔️ sewing and textile rabbit holes ✔️ historical clothing inspiration ✔️ honest, imperfect making

…I think you’ll enjoy this.

Thanks for being here, for watching, and for making things in whatever way you can. I hope this video keeps you company — and maybe reminds you how much you’ve done too.

Happy New Year, Alice The Fabric Ninja
