If you don’t have time to scroll through my whole blog (I get it—life is busy!), I wanted to give you a quick peek at what I’ve been up to this year—Instagram-style. This whole website and my Everything’s Famtastic Instagram account are all about sharing little wins, fun behind-the-scenes moments, and beginner-friendly tips that I hope inspire you, make you laugh, or even give you a nudge to pull out your sewing machine.
And if you’ve ever wondered what actually works on Instagram… honestly, same same. Every year I’m surprised by which Instagram posts get the most views and end up taking on a life of their own. I’ll share something I think is helpful or funny, and suddenly it’s being saved, shared, and sent to people’s sewing-obsessed besties.
So… I thought it would be fun to look back at the posts you loved most each month this year. 😍
Never fear, 🫣 this isn’t some braggy deep-dive into stats and analytics. It’s simply the top Instagram post from each month paired with a short note about what it was and why I think you’ll want to make sure you watch it too.
Think of this blog post as a little highlight reel of the moments that made you laugh, nod along, or finally try that thing you were nervous to touch on your machine.
And if we’re not already connected on Instagram, this gives you a comfy peek into what happens over there—simple sewing tips, tiny creative wins, and plenty of “oh good, it’s not just me” kind of energy.
