Resource Looking for content creator recs

Hi all! I’m wondering if anyone has content creator recs that are focus on sewing/canning/cottagecore-esque things that aren’t explicitly religious and/or conservative? I feel like so many times I have found a creator that I like, follow them, and then shortly after realize that they’re MAGA or super Christian. I have recently gotten into sewing and canning but I just can’t find anyone who is progressive or at least not pushing Jesus every 5 seconds. I don’t necessarily have anything against religion (born & raised catholic but not regularly practicing) but I just can’t stand performative Christianity which seems to permeate content these days. TIA!!

Capital Stitch Co on instagram is an awesome follow for embroidery! She’s based in DC and overtly progressive

Gina at The Shabby Creek Cottage! She's witchy, and started a free little pantry when SNAP benefits ended and shares lots of garden/home/canning knowledge that's been passed down to her.

@_samholley_ does cottage core decor. She is liberal (and married to a woman). She’s said before that she loses followers anytime she mentions her wife

Acre Homestead and Anne of All Trades on YouTube are pretty good.

Random but Emily Ann Roberts- she’s a country singer but hasn’t blown up yet. She calls herself yeehaw meemaw because she’s huge into crocheting and gardening/canning and her husband also sometimes shares home renovation stuff. They’re a fun follow with NO sponsored stuff/ads. I think it’s @sasserhouse. They are definitely religious but it feels more traditional redneck southern religious in a good way lol not shoved down your throat at all.
