Scandinavian Crush

May 8, 2016September 28, 20164 Comments

For as long as I can remember I have dreamed of travelling to New York. After my brother moved there in 2014 and got an apartment with his (now) wife, the realisation of this lifelong dream was within my reach. Affording accommodation in the big apple was/is not a realistic prospect for me at … Continue reading Scandinavian Crush

In case you missed it @handmade_by_celiahann has compiled another exceptional tutorial which will guide you through constructing this here #thevetivertop with #vetiverexpansion of collar and /or long sleeves. The top pictured was actually a source of great frustration for me owing to the fact that I sewed up the whole thing, save for attaching the sleeves, especially for the expansion pattern release about a month ago. I had taken extra time and care to construct it ‘perfectly’ because i had intended to use it for photos for my website and shop. Alas however, when I came to attach the sleeves I couldn’t find the left one!!! I searched EVERYWHERE, offered my kids exorbitant monetary rewards and spent more hours than I had invested in making this shirt trying to find the damn sleeve. However, all of my efforts were in vain and eventually gave up, proceeding with the launch without all the photographed variations that I had hoped for.

Woke up to double gingham gorgeousness in this ridiculously cute matching set by @under.the.elms featuring #thexaneleshorts , as well as this pretty darn perfect #thevetivertop by @toiles_and_trails ❤️

I’ve had a lot of people asking me lately how I feel about Reels or, more particularly, how I feel about changes in Instagram and how Reels affect the ever-enigmatic algorithm. To be honest I do not have much knowledge on the topic (seems some people think I know what I’m doing over here when, truthfully I’m pretty clueless). A quick google search did not yield much information so I gave up on trying to educate myself on this topic. This line of questioning did however make me curious to attempt my first reel, and I actually really enjoyed the process. Except for the fact that, being a business account, I was unable to add the music that I would have liked to add.

The Vetiver Top Pattern Expansion is now available in my shop. This pattern expansion gives you the option of adding long sleeves and / or a Peter Pan Collar to your Vetiver Top. If you, like me, have found yourself regularily reaching for your Vetiver Tops throughout the warmer months and have wished for a winter-friendly version of this pattern, then this expansion is for you.

I’ve been much more prolific around these parts, incase you hadn’t noticed. It’s been a super rad past few months for me as I’ve been feeling like I’m finally MOVING FORWARD after so many years of stagnation, my creativity tethered by an endless to-do list that seemed always to be dishearteningly insurmountable to me. It’s been beyond incredible to have @handmade_by_celiahann join my team and she has been more than picking up all of the slack that Ive been unable to manage by myself over the past few years.

My relationship with #theforsythedress over the past 5 years or so since I launched it as my first PDF sewing pattern has been somewhat complicated….
