The year 2020 was definitely a year to remember. When the pandemic hit I was at a quilters retreat. It was the week after our daughter's wedding. As things began to shut down I was asking my friends what they were talking about. I had no clue because we had spent every spare moment for the previous 11 months planning a wedding. By the time I got home from the retreat the country was in quarantine. Being at home full time and not having to go to work was like my dream come true. Especially since I was fortunate enough to still be receiving my paycheck while in quarantine.
Since I love to sew, craft and quilt there were plenty of projects to work on during this time. Our grown son was also home during the quarantine only he had lost a good portion of his self-employed income from teaching private percussion lessons. I began to help him process this new reality and ideas for projects he could work on began to flow. One of those projects was me finally starting my YouTube channel.
I had been talking about it for several years but did not have the time to figure out how to begin. Well, now I had the time. My son agreed to film and edit the videos so it was a win-win for both of us. In April 2020 in the middle of a world wide pandemic Sew-Learn-Create YouTube channel was born. On the channel I do sewing, crafting and DIY projects. Many of the projects we make come from the sewing classes I teach.
My son and I have learned so much over the last year. My channel has grown much faster than I thought it would and I am now over 500 subscribers. A simple Thank You doesn't begin to show my appreciation for the support and encouragement I have received.
New projects are always in the works for the channel. If you have any suggestions for a project you would like us to try leave a comment below. And if you have not checked out Sew-Learn-Create head on over and give us a try.
The year 2020 was a year like no other but I thank God for the time at home and for the opportunity to share my creative passions with others on a new platform.
