This Fauntleroy has been on my brain all week. Bu This Fauntleroy has been on my brain all week. But so much life got in the way I didn't get a chance to actually make it until this morning. I love when I get a chance to mix my business with one of my hobbies, makes both that much more fun. Embroidery is a newish hobby but already addicting. Valentine's day is not something we celebrate besides sending Valentine's with the kids to school, but I couldn't help making my every day wear a little more festive. . . #fauntleroyraglan #straightstitchdesigns #embroidery #sewcialists #memadeeveryday #sewersofinstagram #indiepatterns #seattlesews

A few weeks ago I took a macrame class at @wyldwoo A few weeks ago I took a macrame class at @wyldwoodcreative with the amazing Sarah of @collectaneashop. I knew immediately that not only did I need to have macrame at the Makers Retreat in November but I wanted to have Sarah teach it. ⁣ ⁣ She is going to be the perfect addition to the retreat, and I can't wait for you all to learn from her too. There is still space available in the retreat, so grab a friend and join us!⁣ ⁣ #macrame #ssdmakersretreat2020 #makersgonnamake #makersmovement
Sewed up a quick Laurelhurst today before sending Sewed up a quick Laurelhurst today before sending it off to testers. I confess that I NEVER try to line up stripes, I just don't care enough, ha! Do you line up stripes? ⁣ ⁣ Laurelhurst is the oldest pattern I currently offer, I designed it back in 2015, and I can't wait to breath new life into it. ⁣ ⁣ I have brought the pattern up to not only my new size range but also the culmination of 5 years of pattern drafting knowledge. it is so much better and I know you are going to love it as well.⁣ ⁣ Make sure to check out the updated hashtag to see the tester versions over the next week. #ssdlaurelhurst⁣ ⁣ #straightstitchdesigns #sewcialists #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewcialists #sewersofinstagram #indiepatterns #wearhandmade #sewingpattern #seattlesews #isew #sewing #sewingproject #seamstress #patternmaking
As I was admiring my new logo on a huge stack of p As I was admiring my new logo on a huge stack of patterns this morning when it happened... I found a mistake. It's in that moment your heart sinks because you know you can't pretend you didn't see it. If you want your product to represent you and your brand you have to say something. But you also have to remember we all make mistakes and this is definitely not the last I will make. A large company would just fix it and move on. But as small business we see that mistake as a reflection of our abilities and skills not as what it is, a mistake. So before I let this affect my vision of myself and ruin the rest of the day, I will take a break and keep reminding myself it's only a mistake and we all make them.
Taking a break from putting together all of the Fa Taking a break from putting together all of the Fauntleroy paper patterns for @thesewciety to volunteer in my kiddos classroom. It is raining hard so it seemed like the perfect day to also wear a Fauntleroy.
Who wants this pattern? ⁣ ⁣ I am in the midst Who wants this pattern? ⁣ ⁣ I am in the midst of updating a few previous patterns into my new size range, and just can't stop popping over to this pattern to make some small updates as well.⁣ ⁣ I designed Leavenworth for my Makers Retreat in November and everyone seemed to love it as much as I did.
