I actually don’t watch a ton of videos, for some reason I prefer blogs. I’ve been learning to sew over the past year and I started chronicling my journey on our blog. I’m still a total amateur but it’s been really fun. My husband wanted to learn how to work on the house and so he blogs about DIY projects. We’re just doing it for fun but who knows what will happen in the next 10 years!
