2014 - Changes

Where to begin...

I've been writing this post in my head for weeks 
and have sat at the computer for days rewriting the start

and still I can't seem to come up 
with the right words to explain the changes happening around here


I want to tell you that I will be 
winding up the Workshops
at the end of Term 1

that during Term 1 
I will be offering bite sized workshops in the form of 
2day Fridays or Weekends 
 [nitty-gritty stuff available on the website]

that I am in the process of REfashioning the
Studio into a Shop
where I'll be offering my treasures 
including reinventing samples
vintage fabrics, linens, patterns, pictures, tins and loads more stuff 
to whoever still has cash after the Boxing Day Sales


I'll also be working on 
updating the On-line Shop
so I can share the treasure further afield


and that to celebrate the changes I will be 
conducting a 
Fashion Talk
11th January
10am
$30
where those who attend
will have the opportunity to share the secrets to the most popular REinventions 
as I step you through what's involved in creating each finished piece
and they will also get a first look at what's available in the Shop.
{limited seats so contact me to book yours - sewoutsidethelines[at]westnet[dot]com[dot]au}


did it

but before I press the publish button
I'd also like to share with you that 
I embrace & encourage change
 when it's a choice you have made
[it's what I do for a living]

however when it is thrust upon you 
like a lightening rod to the back of the head in the middle of the darkest night
change can take a while to accept and make the most of
which is what I have decided to do
because I much prefer being positive to being pissed off

2014 is going to be an exciting ride...

  7. Wow yes! Changes indeed Jody, and wish you so much well with it all! and yes it does sound a little like a mill trip as Bron said. So I hope with all my heart that you are good and things go even better for you in 2014 and beyond! ♥
