I've heard this question so many times, whether it's about painting, writing, fabric art, and more.
How do I start?
It would be nice if there was a magical answer, a surefire formula that always lead to success.
But the answer is far less neat than that.
Because...you just have to start.
And you have to be willing to do your art badly.
At least at first. And maybe for a while.
You have to paint/write/stitch wild and messy with lots of mistakes because that is how you learn.
Yes, you can always take classes and read books and watch tutorials. This will help. It can help a lot.
But you still have to do the work of the class/book/tutorial imperfectly, with the openness of a beginner.
You have to practice.
And, with time, your knowledge grows. You refine your skills. You learn what you like, what works, and what isn't your thang.
But first, before anything, you have to just. start.
If you're willing to just start, and to make mistakes, that is the beginning of all your dreams coming true.
Just start. Paint badly. Write awkwardly. Stitch messy.
And if you keep going, keep practicing, keep showing up, sooner or later, you will find you are living the creative life you always dreamed of.

Start creating — without the overwhelm
I have just released a one-of-a-kind DIY kit to help get you started creating fabric art easily, quickly, and without the overwhelm.
This kit will allow you to experience the joy and sense of accomplishment of hand-stitching your very own piece of fabric collage art.
Even better, your finished piece makes a gorgeous piece of home decor to keep or gift!
This kit comes with all the support you need to create the beautiful celestial mountain fabric landscape pictured.
The only supplies you'll need to already have on hand are fabric or embroidery scissors, some paper, and some glue.
Your kit even comes complete with a comprehensive video tutorial where I walk you through each step of the process. And if you still have questions, I'm available to answer them via Etsy's messenger.
Are you ready to make fabric art with me?
