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!

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.
Illustrating my patterns cover is always a favourite part of my instruction booklet process. This is for many reasons, the most pertinent being that it’s a very welcome break from all those hours spent staring at my laptop or hunched over my sewing machine / pattern table. Also I really really love to draw, but never make time for it in my busy life as it seems like such an indulgent activity (much like watching TV but, given the opportunity and time, i would certainly choose the former over the latter). The other, more exciting reason is that it indicates that I’m nearing the end of the process and about to release many months of work into the sewing world (always equally parts daunting and exhilarating).
