Keeping it comfy while editing the Meadowood sew-a Keeping it comfy while editing the Meadowood sew-along.
It is such a strange holiday season this year for It is such a strange holiday season this year for so many of us. What would normally be a time to get together with people we love is now a chance for us to stay home and keep everyone safe and healthy. I have spent the last few weeks doing things that make me happy and just a little less homesick. Some of that is work and some are just for me. I hope you will take this opportunity to spend time doing the things you love. There are going to be so many sales this week especially for small businesses. I encourage you to find a way to support them even if that means just a share of a post or a shoutout on stories. It doesn't always mean a purchase. This business has been a labour of love for the last 6 years and I appreciate all of you who have been along for the ride. If there is a pattern you have been thinking about getting make sure to take advantage of the sale this week. Save 20% off patterns with code GIVING20. Happy Holidays and stay home, or wear a mask if you must leave the house!! This is only temporary but it could mean life or death for so many people around you.
Oh the joys of video. Thankfully this is just so Oh the joys of video. Thankfully this is just some pickup shots. But yes that is my hair in the frame 😂 I should have the shooting all done this week and then comes editing. . . #ssdmeadowood #sewalongvideo #diyvideographer #handmadewardrobe #sewcialists #sewinggirlboss
Today is definitely not going as I had hoped. If Today is definitely not going as I had hoped. If you head over to my stories you can hear all about how I shot video without audio today 🤦‍♀️⁣ ⁣ So unbelievably frustrating. But I am just telling myself that with each mistake I make I am learning something new.
Oh man does this accidental picture capture my emo Oh man does this accidental picture capture my emotions today. Doing new things is hard and frustrating.⁣ ⁣ I know once I have it all figured out every future video will be that much easier, but man is today not going as planned. I figured the struggle would be in edited, not in just getting the video recorded.⁣ ⁣ I just watched back the footage from today and none of it I can use. I have to rework my setup to account for the light from the window and my glasses.⁣ ⁣ On a happier note, I am going to go eat another snickerdoodle and have a fresh coffee. Tomorrow I will start again. ⁣ ⁣ Make sure to head to my stories to hear more about today's struggles and to weigh in on the snickerdoodle debate.

The only good thing about moving is finding clothe The only good thing about moving is finding clothes you forgot you had while unpacking. When I found this Phinney Ridge cardigan earlier this week I legitimately couldn't remember making it.⁣ ⁣ Whether I remember making it or not, I am quite pleased to have another cardigan in rotation. And because the Phinney Ridge has a lower armhole it fits over my white Meadowood perfectly. Expect to see some version of this combination a lot in the coming months.

I needed an invisible zipper for a project so i th I needed an invisible zipper for a project so i thought I would just pop into Fabricland. But then I walked past the linen section and saw the 50% off signage and thought, well why not have a quick look...⁣ ⁣ The top two are linen/rayon blends that are ridiculously soft and both destined for Sew News patterns. One is for me and one is a sample neither of which I can tell you about, sorry!⁣ ⁣ The bottom one is a linen/cotton blend and is going to be the Meadowood for the sew along! It has a very clear right and wrong side so it will make the videos easier to follow along and it is going to be so cute I just can't stand it. ⁣ ⁣ I want to see your new fabrics, tag me in your pictures so we can all feel the new fabric glow.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #ssdmeadowood #straightstitchdesigns #fabricglow ⁣ #makersgonnamake #makersvillage #creativelifehappylife #supporthandmade #straightstitchdesigns #sewcialists #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewersofinstagram #indiepatterns #wearhandmade #sewingpattern #seattlesews #isew #sewing #sewingproject #seamstress
