Etsy purchase - Shinzi Katoh wide tape

Since I'm not only a seller but also an avid shopper on Etsy I thought I'd add a category to showcase my favourite Etsy puchases here, and this ones made it to the top of my the cutest list; a Shinzi Katoh wide tape from Cottonblue.

I used this particular design to use on the favors I'm preparing for the little ones birthday party this weekend. And since it's going to be a Care Bear theme party, and everything is about colours and rainbows, I thought this would look adorable to use as seals for the multi coloured bubble gums to add to the loot bag.

She also have these other designs in here shop, it's really hard to choose just one, they're all so adorable and cute! (you've been warned)

corner of my studio

I missed sewing. Today I revisited my spider-ridden studio corner where my neglected Pfaff and threads reside and took photos of my supplies instead. I haven’t sewn anything in months since I opened Modish Vintage on etsy. It’s a shame since I keep finding pretty vintage fabric and supplies each time I go thrifting, and each time I day dream of what cute bags and dresses I can make with them. But alas, I don’t and can’t find time.

Sewing requires time, creativity and lots of patience, all of which I lack at the moment. I have so much respect for all the talented tailors and seamstress on Etsy for all the hardwork and creativity they put on their work. I don’t think I can be a good seamstress, I don’t like the process so much, like the measuring, cutting, basting and the most fun part - unpicking stitches; (I could never imagine sewing in the old days without the almighty seam ripper , those ladies must be cussing up a storm all day in their shops back then) Anyways, I can never wait to see the end result. I’ll start a project, won’t cook, eat or sleep so I can finish and see the finish product.

Since I don’t forsee any sewing in the near future, I am listing some sewing supplies at the shop soon, please look for them.
