There we are! In the Dutch Newspaper @ad_nl
An hour after this photo was taken we had to close the store and sewing café for the 2nd lockdown. But even from there, beautiful, creative ideas evolve.
We'll come back stronger! 💪

#throwbackthursday ☺️. I've been working in our new location @zandpand for almost 3 weeks now. And eventhough I'm not quite done yet (... still miss a good work & cutting table), and a little less blooming flowers surrounding us, it feels soooo wonderful working there 😍 Today I will try to design my work table 🤓... Hopefully in such a way that my humangous plotter can fit underneath?! 🤔
Then Sunday we (read: my handyman 💪) can build it...I hope 🤞.

Exciting to see that the Daisy Dress is showing up

Exciting to see that the Daisy Dress is showing up in our city guide map 😍 Introducing our new hotspot @zandpand.
Although this dress was originally made in red, it looks really pretty in blue as well 💙💙💙. Fun part of sewing (well, one of them) is that it can be made in any color you like ☺️

Ever tried shirring on your sewing machine? It's not as difficult as you might think ☺️ All you need to do is wind elastic thread on the bobbin and regular thread in the needle. Stitch rows 1 cm apart and the elastic will evenly gather the fabric.
Tip: you can use a bit of steam from your iron to make it shirr even more.

Yay, Exciting news! As of October 1st we (me and the talented illustrator @vandijck82 ) will be renting this awesome location downtown Culemborg. As it is located in the Zandstraat we will call it ZANDPAND.
What’s going to happen here?
📍 In the first place it will be our workspace, where I will work on new designs for Rosie & Me and Iris will work on her illustrations.
📍 Besides this I will regularly open the doors for @rosiesnaaicafe offering sewing classes and workshops.
📍And it will be a store! Where you can find all illustrations by Iris as well as some fun DIY gifts.

More info on Rosie’s Naaicafé agenda will be posted @rosiesnaaicafe shortly!

Lots of work to do still, but super, super excited about these plans!
Hope to meet you there ❤️

Excited to share another Daisy Dress option 😍 T

Excited to share another Daisy Dress option 😍 This pattern comes with two skirt variations: full circle and flared. So in case you find a circle skirt to much skirt for certain occasions, then you can make this flared variation instead. Great for a nice pattern matching project like this beautiful blue and white gingham 💙💙💙

Remember the striped circle skirt? Well here it is

Remember the striped circle skirt? Well here it is! The Daisy Romper now officially has a sister - meet the Daisy Dress 👗
She comes with both a circle skirt as well as a flared skirt.
With the announcement of this new pattern variation, I would also like to inform you of a few changes that we're making to our patterns. We decided that our printed patterns will go out of stock (sorry printed pattern
lovers! 😔) and that we will switch to only selling pdfs patterns. Even though I personally love our printed patterns and pretty booklet it turns out to be too much work for a small company to manually assemble, print, fold, mail. Plus translating all files into two languages... I wish to put more time into offering new patterns throughout the year, so I had to make these tough decisions.
Phew, glad I got that of my chest 🙏. Now, this also means that the Daisy Dress is available as an English pdf file only. But not to be too disappointed printed lovers!!! As I have tried my best to offer these files to the best possible quality! Meaning: they now come in both A4 / US Letter
size as well as A0 size - they include size layers (yay!) - the pattern shows both cut lines and stitch lines (another yay!) - and sizes are differentiated by both colored lines as well as different line strokes (triple yay!)
❤️❤️❤️
One last note regarding the Daisy Dress. I did my best to get the full size range out by today...but sadly I need to wait for a few technical updates.
That means that the A4 / US Letter is temporarily only available up to size 44 / 14. Hopefully by next week they will include all sizes up to
size 54 / 24
Size A0 is already available in the full size range!

I hope you're up for some last summery sewing. Or perhaps think of a Xmas fabric Daisy Dress already! 🎄 In the end the fun part of sewing (one of the
fun parts that is) is that the fabric decides how your creation will look!
Now I will poor myself a nice glass of wine, cheers! 🥂

This year so far brought some challenging moments.

This year so far brought some challenging moments. Plans I was working on for Rosie & Me had to be put on a low burner as I sudddenly switched to home schooling my two little girls.
The Gina dress is again waiting patiently for my attention 🙃
However in the meantime I thought to at least make a variation of an existing pattern. I got pretty excited about a striped circle skirt idea....Found this lovely stripe at @trickledownfabrics.
It's so summery and sunny and happy! I absolutely love it! ❤️
Excited to share the making of this fun circular bias cut puzzle.
More about the pattern variation will follow soon ✂️✂️✂️

My 2 little girls started to go back to school again this week. After weeks of homeschooling ... which in the end turned out to be months. We've had beautiful moments together ❤️ As well as quite some challenging moments 🙃. I missed my work. Where did the quality Rosie & Me & Me & Me time go?
This week I've been back into the office again. Some more regular hours instead of an hour here and there....
Today, on a rainy day, cup of tea, nice music, catching up on projects that were suddenly dropped months ago.
Very thankful that we can pick things up again 🙏

Sometimes you realize that you wish that you cut your skirt just a tad longer 🤭. To gain a little extra length (how much depends on how much hem allowance you included) you could decide to finish the hem with binding tape instead. It makes for a fun finishing touch. But most importantly, you now only need 0,5 cm hem where I added 2 cm for hem allowance. Giving 1,5 cm extra length to my skirt 😅

I'm experimenting with adding size layers to our p

I'm experimenting with adding size layers to our pdf patterns. A lot of work, but I understand this will be so much easier for everyone.
Now as I'm getting into this I need a little feedback. Hope you can help 🙏

1.Would you prefer different line strokes (like a dotted line, vs a striped line, etc.) in black ink to differentiate sizes? Or would solid lines in different colors work as well? You can still print in grey scale to not use colored ink of course.
When you have the option to select one size layer it seems less important how they are differentiated. Except when printing more then one size...would people do that? 🤔
2. I thought maybe people would appreciate to see both the sewing line as well as the seam allowance (see 2nd photo). Is it just me that likes this visualized or do other people like this as well? It's quite impossible when all sizes are stacked, since there will be to many lines running into each other. But with single layer sizes it will be possible and perhaps could be helpful? 🤷‍♀️ Would love to hear your feedback! Thank you! ❤️

Being a Dutch based pattern company that sells pat

Being a Dutch based pattern company that sells patterns internationally, I offer our website and patterns in English. But besides designing patterns, I also give pattern and fit related workshops. Which I offer in Dutch. This works perfectly fine, but sometimes creates a little confusion. Since the communication to our customers via social media is in English, people think that the workshop is offered in English as well. When I communicate about these subjects in Dutch it feels disrespectful towards our English speaking followers 🙃
Soooo, I’ve come to a solution (which I probably should have thought about a long time ago already 🙈) - > making a separate Instagram account for workshops and classes!
This account is called Rosie’s Naaicafé and can be found here: @rosiesnaaicafe
Here I will post all related topics in Dutch!

I have also updated our homepage by adding two big buttons. One being ‘The Patternstore' in English and also one called 'Rosie's Naaicafe' in Dutch.
Hopefully this helps and is more clear for everyone. Thank you for your support and understanding 🙏.
