Welcome to In Agata's Cottage, a sewing channel where creativity meets practicality! I'm a stay-at-home mum who left the corporate world to focus on taking care of my family. I spend my time sewing, cooking, and baking. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced sewist, here you'll find a variety of sewing chats, tutorials, tips, and tricks that cater to all skill levels. From using fabric scraps and my extensive fabric stash to no-pattern sewing projects, there’s something for everyone. I share sewing patterns from Big5 and Indie designers.
Based in Ireland, I'm a 40+year old sewist who believes in healing power of sewing. I’m passionate about colorblocking. When I’m not sewing, you can usually find me in the kitchen cooking or baking up a storm. Oh, and I can’t forget my two crazy cats, who love to "kidnap" my fabrics, patterns, and even my sewing chair! Join me as we explore the world of sewing, creativity, and endless possibilities.

Hi lovely people! I’m pushing hard to reach the 4,000 watch hours milestone on YouTube before monetization requirements shift.
If you have some time to watch a video or two in the background today, your support would truly mean so much to me.
Link is down below—thank you as always for being here!

Its 4th birthday of "In Agata’s Cottage ". Over 220 videos, a lot of lovely connections and new friendships. Thank you for sticking with me over last 4 years.
I think we should celebrate somehow but I am not entirely sure what would be the best?
Q&A?
Giveaway?
Or something else?
What you think ?
Any suggestions?

I have been talking recently with a friend about effects of sewing on mental health.
Few months ago I shared some thoughts in a video. If you haven't seen it yet, please watch it and share your thoughts with us.
Thank you

Part of planning process recorded. I still have a fair bit to do/record, so hopefully video will be out next weekend.
Turned out writing/talking about your own planning process is harder then actually doing it.
Please stay tuned :)

My crazy 190 m (200 yd) bunting took over my life. All other projects are on hold until I am done with monstrosity 🙈🤣
I will be back here when I am done
Please send warm thoughts my way.
Can't wait to share with you all the details, and funny little stats I have been noticing (testing) while working on this project
Have a wonderful weekend and I hope you will get to sew a bit.
Don't forget to clean your machine and change your needle.
Love
Agata

Dear Friends
From our humble home to yours - we wish you awonderful holiday season, full of joy, good food, meaningful conversations, fantastic board games sessions, elasticated waistbands and peace.
Thank you so much for sticking with me.
I am recovering slowly, but improving every day. I was even able to talk for almost 10 min without getting a coughing attack yesterday.
I am hoping to resume recording next week.
Have a happy holiday
Agata
Ps below some photos relating to Christmas prep, décor, gifts and food

Dear friends,
Unfortunately, there will be no new Style Without Boxes video today. I’m still recovering from the cold/Covid I caught just after the Knit and Stitch Show, and my voice isn’t great. I am recovering and sewing Christmas gifts, but any recording will have to wait until I can say more than two sentences without having a coughing spell.
I hope you understand. 💜
If you miss me, why not watch some of my other videos:

Happy sewing and see you soon
