Important notice for anyone who already got the Birgitte Basic Tee: Go download it again! I made a new and prettier better version of the pattern sheet (and so much easier to assemble!) and also updated the instructions.
Well, times flies when you’re having fun – as they say. And I AM having fun. Rambling ahead…
I’m very busy at the moment with translating gigs, drafting for others (getting paid to do so) and teaching a great big bunch of T-shirt Workshops at night. Not that much time left for my own patterns – not to mention sewing or blogging about it.. (and then of course, there are still days in the fabric store…)
{And then the cat needed surgery – and I did sew: I sewed her a shirt/cape to keep her from biting the stitches – I present: Super Cat}
But I AM having fun! I get to make money talking, writing and drawing about sewing. And that is exactly what I quit my school teaching job for!
{One of the most worn combinations – jeans (or me-made shorts), Me-Made tank top and cardigan. Here at the hairdresser with my hairdressers Zanni (in the US tee) and Belinda}
Anyway. The Me-Made-May. I did a little better than last year in that I actually wore Me-Mades every day of May. But I didn’t do posts about it – or even upload to the Flickr Group – and that was sort of the point. But here is my sum-up:
Yixi, an online acquaintances and long time customers became a RL friend when she visited me in Denmark in May. The crazy eyes/smile is just me being super excited – and not very photogenic… I’m wearing me-made tank top
I wore a lot of me-made t-shirts and tank tops with jeans (not me-made) and shorts. I only wore my wide legged trousers once, and the skirts only appeared a couple of times as well. But my Minoru rain-jacket was a staple throughout May as was all my knit fabric dresses – Especially my Audreys – they were great when I needed something a little more dressy – like when I actually left the office in my house..
So, anyway. I hope you are still here – and I also just want to let you know that I’m in the process of editing all my pattern sheets (finally got a hang on how to fix the width of the lines) to make them prettier, easier to use and a lot easier to assemble. For now I’ve (as I said in the beginning of the post) edited the Birgitte Basic Tee and if you already bought it (in my shop or at Craftsy.com) you should re-download it. Go ahead!
Love the T-shirt for the cat. I hope it’s feeling better soon.
Oops – I was a day early for the download. I’m just finishing up my second Birgitte T today (just need to hem the sleeves). I wear my first one at least once a week, so I definitely needed more! The lounge pants are next on my list.
Hello!! Good to hear what you are up to, sounds like you’re buzzing. Can’t wait for you to release your tank pattern….you tease us! Well done for your me made may :)
Still here and been missing you – glad that you are not missing in action or struck down with jetlag!
Hi there, I am excited to use your patterns! I ordered 3 through the onion site but only one came to me in the emails. I tried to go directly yo the site today but it is down. Is there anything else I can do? Sorry to send this in a comment but I couldn’t find other contact info.
thanks, Sandy
Hi Sandy
Have you checked your SPAM folder? Sometimes the patterns get caught there – and you may need to accept mail from order@shoponion.com or no-reply@shoponion.com.
The site is up and running – You can always re-send the instructions for all the patterns you have purchased at ShopONION.com to your specified e-mail address by going to ShopONION.com and logging in using your user name and password. Then go to “Account†and check the e-mail address is correct before clicking on the My Digital Products tab. Here you can find the instructions and click on the Send button next to the instructions you want to be send to you. It will then arrive in your e-mail within minutes.
Some SPAM filters will sort them out (which might have happened with yours, since you haven’t received them), so remember you might have to approve receiving mail from no-reply@shoponion.com.
Thank you. I can’t get the site to open here for some reason (I am at work) so I will try from home. Apparently I have an old version of IE here at work so that may be it- although I did open it here before. I checked my SPAM and I didn’t see it…hopefully the onion site will work from home!
