Drawing my pattern cover illustrations always starts out feeling like such a task, but I invariably end up enjoying the process once I get into it; it’s always nice to pick up a pencil IRL when spending so much time doing vector drawings in illustrating the instructions.

Drawing my pattern cover illustrations always starts out feeling like such a task, but I invariably end up enjoying the process once I get into it; it’s always nice to pick up a pencil IRL when spending so much time doing vector drawings in illustrating the instructions.

Pretty much immediately after i released #thevetivertop I plunged myself straight into developing #thexanelelongs expansion pack (and ignoring Instagram). But today I realised, as The Xanele Longs tester feedback and photos start to trickle in, that I have not yet taken the time / grid space to acknowledge some of my incredible pattern testers without whom my patterns would probably be ill-fitting and the instructions incomprehensible!

If you have not yet seen it, @handmade_by_celiahann has compiled another exceptional tutorial which will walk you step-by-step through sewing up #thevetivertop .

After making up a few samples I am now pretty happy with the fit of #thexaneleshorts expansion pack. A friend referred to them as thexanelelongs the other day, and I think I may adopt this hashtag, ridiculous as it reads / sounds. I don’t anticipate having to do too many instruction amendments, other than cutting layouts and fabric consumption charts and the like, unless it is preferable to edit all the illustrations to show full length pants instead of shorts? I will post a poll in my stories should you want to help me decide 🙃. So am hoping to get this pants pattern out into the world next month 🤞🏽

Im not sure if any creative project is every actually ‘complete’, and Ive spent the past 2 weeks so immersed in pattern edits that I have lost all ability to judge whether its even good anymore, but I feel like I finally need to release #thevetivertop out into the wild, so it is now available for download in my Etsy store (link in bio), accompanied by a celebratory discount on this and all of my patterns.

I have had a pretty productive week and weekend and am up to date on all my new pattern edits (so far, I am still anxiously / eagerly awaiting tester feedback) so I decided to play around with lengthening #thexanaleshorts into pants, in the hopes of offering this as an expansion pack sometime soon.
