I sewed a top with fabric I block printed (and other news)
|
Dear Reader, I have to tell you about something I'm a little obsessed with right now. I block printed my own fabric and turned it into a top I actually want to wear. I didn't expect to pick up garment sewing again (it's been over 20 years!), but here we are — apparently, one creative obsession can just casually open the door to another. More on that soon. In the meantime, my latest YouTube video is up — if you've ever been curious about block printing but felt overwhelmed by all the tools out there, this one's for you. I narrowed it down to the only 4 you actually need to get started. A couple of other small updates:I've closed Tiny Treasures, my monthly print subscription. Maybe someday I'll reopen it, but for now I need to ease up on the demands I've put on my time (live and learn). It taught me a lot, and I'm so grateful for everyone who was part of it. And academic calendars are available if a calendar that starts in summer is your kind of thing. That's it for now. Have a good week. Warmly, If you love my newsletter and other content and want to help support me here's a link to my Tip Jar. Support from people like you helps me continue to do what I do, and it is much appreciated. |
