Many mysteries of life have been solved now. Up until a week ago, clothes have been a mystery to me. I’ve sewn squares and triangles together for the last ten years of my life, but I’ve never sewn curves and hems.
Adding pillows to my shop is few and far between right now, but there are two new ones in there. I fell for the florals on this one.
This fabric is so fun. Everything about it is colorful and cheerful and definitely Brady Bunch inspired. The green gingham in here makes me think of Alice.
I’ve watched her shop since before she sold fabric, but I’d never purchased anything from Morgan Kelly Quilts until last month.
My Etsy shop is tiny. Teensy tiny. I don’t know if I’ve ever had more than ten items in my shop at one time. I’ve barely capped 100 sales. My audience is small. Three pillows at one time is a big restock for me.
So now that I’ve revealed all my tip top business strategies above, I’ll leave you with a bit of triangle pillow inspiration.
I have no regrets having a bit of Heather Ross’ 20th Anniversary Line sitting on my fabric shelves. Her whimsical pictures are so cheerful. The violet strawberries are my favorite, but the pink apples are a very close second. They are all listed in my Etsy Shop.
Most of the quilts I make are larger than twin sized. Making this throw sized quilt top for my three year old was a pleasant (and quite quick) endeavor.
These were a joy to sew. I think I’m finally at the point where sewing pillows comes with very few glitches. I’ve made enough of them now that I’m zeroing in on my best practices and processes. (It’s been six years in the making.)
In all honesty, I would not consider myself an impulse buyer. I’m not a huge shopper, and most of my purchases are quite calculated. If I go to the thrift store, I go for something specific…lest I come home with dust collectors. I’ve used the same purse for over six years now. My husband bought it for me when our second son was born. I haven’t bought a new purse since.
