This morning I woke up to a lot of birthday messages as well as to find that my son (im assuming, as I found him opportunistically playing with my phone while I was running his bath last night) had graced you all with an unintentional Instagram post of screenshot from my personal Instagram account stories.... 😬😂 I know that there are mixed opinions about sales, and although I agree that people shouldn’t feel compelled to buy things that they don’t need just because they are on sale, I know that there are also people who wait for patterns to go on sale as the regular price is maybe not within their budget. I have so many plans for this, my 38th year, and I am super determined to grow this little business. The support and love from this community never ceases to amaze me (so many comments / messages that I must still respond to!!) so running a sale for this week of my birthday (12 - 19th of Jan) is just a small attempt at saying thank you. Thanks so much for all the feedback on #thesandovalwrapdress (pictured) which I will be completing after all and is coming soon!

I had the amazing experience of meeting up with Beth of @sewdiyblog yesterday evening. It was so great to speak to her about all things sewing / pattern making and to gain some insight into her life in LA. On the topic of pattern making we got to speaking about patterns that we have abandoned over the years, and how we are thinking of possibly resurrecting them. One such pattern of mine is this, #thesandovalwrapdress which I spent a good 6 months working on in 2019, with even the instructions being more than halfway completed. I felt that there were some fit issues which, now that I think about it with a bit of perspective, are probably quite easily correctable but, at the time seemed insurmountable to me (probably, in retrospect, due to the all the overwhelming life stuff that was going on last year). I’m going to put a poll in my stories as I would be interested to hear if you all think that I should maybe work on finishing and releasing this pattern in 2020 or if I should let it go 🙂 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialists #sewcialistsofinstagram #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #imakemyownclothes #makeitsewcial #indiepatterns #selfsewnstaycation #capetownsews
Possibly the brightest thing that I’ve ever posted on Instagram, I’m looking uncharacteristically festive for Christmas lunch today. This dress being a second sample of one of the patterns that I’ve been developing over the past two weeks, and am hoping to release within the 1st quarter of 2020, if everything goes to plan 🙌🏼. Wishing everyone who is celebrating it an awesome Christmas 🎄 and those who are not a happy holiday . #capetownsews if you’re interested, viscose is from @unionragfabric . . #sewcialists #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialisitsofinstagram #handmadewardrobe #makeitsewcial #imakemyclothes #indiepatterns #selfsewnstaycation #isewmyownclothes
Happy Christmas / Holidays ❤️
I’m actually not doing too badly on this whole swimming in the sea every day and frequent Instagram post thing. Also the pattern making has started to feel like its finally gaining some momentum over the past few days. After the longest sleep I’ve had in 5 years (until 6h30!?!?) I am about to head out for a, somewhat windy and overcast, day at the beach with my brother and my kids and am finally starting to feel semi-relaxed and like I’m on holiday. Today’s #selfsewnstaycation outfit is self-drafted shorts that were definitely (probably as a testament to the stress of 2019) a lot tighter and more high-waisted last year, and an old #burdastyle shirt.
#persephonepants in bottom weight denim and #thestellantee . That’s all, no words today
