Vintage on Tap Mid-2017 Updates!

June 9, 2017

So many updates, so little time!

In this week’s video, I break down all the updates that I have coming up for the second half of the year- of which there are PLENTY! In this post I’ll give you a little bit more information about what I discuss 😉

Vintage on Tap Updates, New Posting Schedule

New Video Release Schedule

If you’ve been following the blog for a while, you know that my posting schedule is all over the place. This is actually something that totally grinds my gears– and as a Virgo, makes me feel like I’m doing an awful job. Starting next week, I’m planning on releasing videos and content on a more consistent posting schedule. Its all a work in progress, though, so hang in there with me!

What does that mean?

That means that every Tuesday you should see an update from me on this blog featuring either a fitting video or a completed project video! I’ll be rotating through those, back to back, depending on what I’m working on.

Also, if you’re currently subscribed to me on YouTube, you’ll see a technique-focused video every Thursday. Videos on Thursday will specifically cover specific sewing techniques or tips on a single subject, just to expand your sewing skills as a whole and get something to try out over the weekend. If you have a technique you’d like covered, definitely leave a comment below or on the YouTube channel comments.

If you’re not already subscribed to my channel, click here to subscribe!

 

Vintage on Tap on Patreon, coming soon!

Patreon, Coming Soon!

Yes, you read that correctly!

I’ve been playing with the idea in my mind for a few months and I’ve decided to finally pull the trigger. I’m still in the process of getting the website set up, but I’ve got some big plans for Patreon Only videos, based on the requests I receive from all over the sewing internet and some of those include:

  • One on One sewing help
  • Project and pattern consultations
  • Voting on projects for me to make on the YouTube channel
  • Vintage on Tap gifts and exclusive vintage inspired novelty fabrics I design for my followers
  • Behind the scenes stuff

Of course, by following the blog and following me on any other channel you’ll still receive the great content you’re used to getting from me, but I wanted to be able to do additional videos and begin to offer services for the people who’ve asked. Plus, if you’re  skipping ads on every video on YouTube (like me), you can also chip in a dollar if you want to help support what Jose and I are doing 😊

Vintage on Tap, Flags of the World Dress Challenge

The Flags of the World Dress Challenge

I make no effort to hide that I love.themed.challenges. I’m awful at doing photo challenges on Instagram, but rallying behind a dress theme? I’m there!

I’ll be partnering up with Akram (Akram’s Ideas), Judith Dee (Judith Dee’s Creations) and Renata (Running N Style) to participate in the Flags of the World Dress Challenge! Thinking about participating? Check out the details below:

  • Create one dress or garment to be debuted the first week of July
  • Dress must be inspired by your home country’s flag!
  • Use hashtags #4thofJulyProudDressProject and #FlagsoftheWorldDressProject for us to check out
  • Be entered to win a 50$ giftcard from LA Finch Fabrics!

 

That Sewing Blab Interview, June 20th

Being asked for an interview on That Sewing Blab is such an honor and just amazing. I can’t wait to be online live with Dawn Pengelly and Alethis Hudson on their online sewing show to discuss sewing, my projects, and the blog. If you’re subscribed to the newsletter, I’ll be sending out an email update to my Newsletter Subscribers on the day of so you can watch the livestream!

Vintage on Tap Updates!

Mystery Partnership

I’ve saved the most exciting thing for last!

Unfortunately I can’t share too many details about this, but I can definitely say that this partnership is with a company you already know and love and it’ll be a way for you to get to view new products first!

That’s all I can reveal for now– more info about this in July!

It's important to take time off to give your brain It's important to take time off to give your brain time TO THINK and FIND INSPIRATION ✨⁠
⁠
From Old Trafford to Buckingham Palace, the V&A Museum to Bath... to Edinburgh! From a quick 5 minute visit to the Jane Austen Museum in Bath... to the ACTUAL Roman baths... and... even... Stonehenge- up close and personal 😱 (I actually cried there- it was so powerful and overwhelming.)⁠
⁠
While "wanderlust" and "omg take me back!" tend to encapsulate a lot of pop travel, I was instead left with the idea that... ⁠
⁠
WOW. It's really important to "shut off" regular life sometimes, to let your mind breathe and to allow new ideas to formulate. To reconnect with what actually makes you excited to get up in the morning. ⁠
⁠
I know this is a luxury for a lot of people-- actually, for most of us, with the grind of day-to-day life. But. When the opportunity arises, it's never a bad idea. ⁠
⁠
For me this sort of big trip is a rarity and my daily "shut off" moment is instead my coffee in the morning, with my journal and my tarot cards.⁠
⁠
What's yours? ⁠
⁠
#travelforthesoul #mentalhealth #sewinginspiration #uktravel⁠
⁠
Wait- has it already been TWO WEEKS since coming b Wait- has it already been TWO WEEKS since coming back from the UK? GET OUT 😱⁠
⁠
It was such a beautiful trip, being present for @luka1502 and @mr_mistta 's wedding! ⁠
⁠
Sharing a few photos of the Big Day that I really loved-- though more photos of the rest of the trip coming this week. ⁠
⁠
Super happy that we got to go- the ceremony was really magical 💍⁠
⁠
🥲⁠

Not every project makes it onto the 'gram. Actuall Not every project makes it onto the 'gram. Actually, lately, it's been none of mine 😅⁠
⁠
Including this @jessssiemae beanie that I made back in November (!!) for my low-key chill wedding anniversary trip to Reno 😛⁠
⁠
Why? Just not wanting the pressure of having to dress up for a photo... sometimes it's just nice to wear what you've made without the stress of it all. ⁠
⁠
Any projects of yours flying under the radar? ⁠
⁠
I ended up pulling out this #puffypoufhat for my trip last weekend out to Vancouver and ya-- I was sooo glad I had it 🥶⁠
⁠
#millennialknitting #knitstagram #slowfashionmovement
Breaking the IG posting indecision, and posting a Breaking the IG posting indecision, and posting a smiling photo... just because 😝⁠
⁠
Actually, besides getting knocked on my butt with my booster shot these past couple days, things are going well over in my corner of the world. ⁠
⁠
Working on a few fun goals this quarter (NOT "resolutions") and they just ~feel right.~ Major shout out to @muchelleb / @lifemapcollective who shifted my perspective from BIG GOALS to... time bound, specific, actionable quarterly goals. I'd been starting to lean in that direction last year, and this year, it's been how I've been approaching my days. ⁠
⁠
🧵Most Important Goal: Developing a personal health regimen. This goes beyond "lose weight" and "work out" - but cultivating practices that energize me. It looks like... drinking lemon water first thing in the AM with my vitamins. Or getting back to my regular meditation practice. Ya, some workouts thrown in, but a more holistic approach. ⁠
⁠
🧵: Develop Creative Flow (again.) Y'all know I've struggled with this one in recent years-- between being distracted due to work, low energy (lol) or just generally self sabotaging due to excessive tech use. I can see this one being my ultimate focus for 2022, but for now, setting up those routines to celebrate and recognize what "creative flow" looks like in my life. Might be spending an hour winding yarn or cleaning my sewing tools and getting lost in the process... doesn't have to necessarily be producing an output. More options are on the table. ⁠
⁠
🧵: Learn about and practice Digital Minimalism. I posted about this on my stories last week, but tldr, reducing and being more intentional about my tech usage. No, I'm not leaving IG 😅 But what I am doing is... only checking IG via desktop and only a handful accounts at a time, no phone in the bedroom at night, my phone is *always* on DND. And don't get me wrong, I love my iPhone. But this feeds that Creative Flow piece. I need the focus of uninterrupted time to get into my craft again. ⁠
⁠
Anyway, would love to hear from you if you have some quarterly goals set up this year or if you're also embarking on similar journeys! ⁠
⁠
#lifemapcollective #digitalminimalism
On my mind lately is... the struggle of getting in On my mind lately is... the struggle of getting into the creative flow 🌊 ⁠
⁠
Low key, high key, I've been struggling with this for a while lately but I've only just come to grips with it in the last couple months 🤨⁠
⁠
Luckily (ha!) I know I'm not the only one, so I've been binging on inspirational content and feeling a lot better about it, day by day. ⁠
⁠
Few things which are helping the process:⁠
⁠
🧵 @andyjpizza 's podcast, The Creative Pep Talk.⁠
🧵 Books, in the flesh. Art books, sewing books, physical books that take me away from the screen and into the basics of what inspired a creative lifestyle.⁠
🧵 Spending time with friends and with @josecarlosvivanco , focusing on being present, rather than self blaming myself for my lack of creative output.⁠
⁠
Healing? Absolutely. ⁠
⁠
I've been mostly succeeding in trying not to think about how a majority of what's in my closet right now is RTW. That I'm _physically_ uncomfortable in my clothes most of the time due to my current weight. And that the beautiful serger I got for my birthday in September is still sitting in its box. ⁠
⁠
But no pity party here. Just gratitude that I'm at peace with all of this and working my way back into flexing my creative muscles, my physical muscles at the gym (oh how I've missed it) and looking forward to the long holiday break because my mind needs rest. ⁠
⁠
Lots of love to all of you still following me here on Instagram 🙂 I miss our regular chats! ⁠

Two years married, eight together 💍. Still send Two years married, eight together 💍. Still sending each other @nytimes links, falling down YouTube rabbit holes (current binge: scamming-the-scammer prank videos) and generally getting into random creative adventures involving a sewing machine and a Black Magic camera.⁠
⁠
Love you, @josecarlosvivanco !! My life has never been the same since I met you at the Stef’s 😉 Here’s to the next one~
