October Box Inspiration

October Box Inspiration

I've had some really lovely feedback from customers who were as excited to receive their boxes as I was to pack them up and ship them off. A few people have already made some lovely items with the contents of their boxes and posted them on Instagram, there may have been some squeals from me when I saw them. Don't forget if you post a picture on social media to tag me in the comments and also to use #sewhayleyjanemakes so that I can see everything.

The October Box

When I finally decided that the first box was going to be released in October, there was really only one theme it could be in my mind.

I know... terrible! But I do love everything else to do with this season.

They are darker and grittier and I love that you really get to know the characters and their back stories.

The Refashioners Challenge

This is mostly due to being a girl and having girly curves. I have chunky thighs, big hips and a little waist. Guys, why are all the jeans found in highstreet stores a variation on the skinny jean? You got skinny, super skinny, slim fit, super-duper-can't-even-get-my-ankles-in-slim-fit!

We’ve Opened Subscriptions!!

So last Wednesday we were finally able to open up subscriptions! Yay!! Oh my gosh I was so excited but also really very nervous that I was going to hear crickets. A lot of hard work has gone into getting this ready but I was preparing myself for it to take a while before anyone clicked over and joined in my little party.
