I will give a peek here but I am saving the full post for Minerva Crafts . I enjoyed making this as I didn't set myself the task to do it all in one day as I sometimes do. When I do that any interruptions to my sewing are annoying and I wanted to avoid that. Instead I chose to do a bit each day over a few days.
Today I have done some hand bag sewing, I have just finished that about twenty minutes ago and will share it once I have uploaded the photo's to Etsy. In an attempt to be more aware of marketing I have been reading this...
I get the idea however I am already on all the social media it suggests, I don't really have much of a following as I don't follow hundreds of people myself. If you do that how on earth do you ever get anything done. I would rather follow crafters that I am interested in, food design and stuff like that and then I can enjoy what pops up rather than scrolling, how do you all feel about this? I do understand that it is an important tool. So there I am no business woman I guess but if I follow you, you can be sure I actually read your content!
In other reading I have just finished 'People in the Room' by Norah Lange. I have to say this book was not for me, it never really went anywhere and I kept at it as I was waiting for some revelation that never came. Has anyone else read this and if so what are your thoughts?
We have also started watching a new drama this week called 'Undercover' and this one is in Flemish (subtitled) we are quite enjoying it. It is quite amusing that there was a time when my husband didn't watch anything with subtitles and now that is most of what we watch.. I think it gives so much more variety and you get to know which genres you like from where. We find a lot on Netflix and BBC4 More 4 are good too.
I love it! I like the idea of a 2 piece. I used to have a number of very trendy boiler-suits in the 80's and I loved them, but they were a pain when you needed the loo having to pull the whole thing down. Best, Jane :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea to do a two piece set in the same fabric to get that 'jumpsuit' look. I have done this myself several times with tops and skirts in the same fabric to create the effect of a dress with the flexibility to mix and match with other things in my wardrobe too.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely fabric and good pattern pairing!
I love it, so much easier to pay a visit which is why I wouldn't buy a one piece. You would get more traffic to your blog if you added more labels. So for today maybe add jumpsuit, social media, selling handbags. Add a permanent link to your Etsy shop in your sidebar so that casual visitors will find your things for sale. Hope that helps.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your tips, I do add more labels further down where you get the option for tags for your search description when you are creating the blog post. Also I looked at putting a permanent Etsy icon my side bar as I used to have one a few years ago but there is no easy way to do that now. If you have any ideas or links for how to do that I'd really appreciate it. x
ReplyDeleteI love your new outfit! I never wear jumpsuits for the same reason and you really can't tell the difference with what you made. Enjoy wearing it. xx Susan
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit .... you are so clever with all your sewing creations. You seem to get the fit just perfect. Lovely fabric too. I agree with you regarding the following loads of folk ... how do they ever get anything done?? Makes me wonder as I only follow ones I am interested in & that seems to take up enough time !!
ReplyDeletelove the outfit.
