End of June Order Updates

I don't know about you, but I'm definitely not built for hot summer days. I am grateful every day for my dream job involving staying indoors and avoiding the sun while I create. 

As of June 30th, I'll be temporarily closing my entire made-to-order collection until the end of the year. This decision has not been easy, but it's crucial for my mental and physical well-being. Balancing everything as a solo small business owner has been quite challenging, and this break is something I've needed for a while. I deeply appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.

Finishing up my current order queue at a much lower stress level has been truly refreshing and fulfilling. It means a lot to me that you've supported my handmade apparel business for 11 years, and I'm excited to return with renewed energy and creativity next year. Thank you for being part of this journey.

Tonight at 8PM ET, I'm launching Part 1 of my 'Joann Shirred Sewing' series on my YouTube Channel. Over the next two weeks, I'll be adding Parts 2 - 6, along with Sewing Machine Only tutorials for each part. July and August will feature a mix of swimwear and lingerie sewing tutorials, and I'm especially excited to share some fun Halloween sewing projects in August and September. Stay tuned also for new digital sewing patterns, including my summer bestseller, the Sc-Ariel Coffin Towel.

Looking forward to sewing and creating together!  

Stay cool & hydrated this summer. <3
