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!

Last week I posted this trench coat on my channel and I’m still OBSESSED. Fits like a glove, makes me feel my 1940s fantasy, and sooooo warm and cozy. ⁠
⁠
Check it out, if you’re subscribed to the channel.⁠
⁠
And in the mean time, I will continue to debate whether or not I want to commit to a “IG Reels Strategy” as the internet keeps telling me I should do 🫡 ⁠

Simple to sew and no fitting adjustments!! Forever appreciative that Seamwork's curvy pattern block nearly always fits me perfectly! ⁠

I've been doing a lot of reading about Stoicism over the last month and it's honestly been a really amazing "unlock" as I start posting more and *gasp* put out a new video later on this week.⁠
⁠
When started the project "Vintage on Tap", I would question every sewing project, every photo, every video, every idea, to the point of straight indecision and Analysis Paralysis. It's why I'd stop posting after a while, or why I'd stop taking pictures or even dressing up in the clothes that make me feel the most Me.⁠
⁠
Quotes like the one I shared really encapsulate the attitude I'm taking with a lot of things. ⁠
⁠
👗 Do what I can, right now. Do I control it? Take action with it. Am I spending more time thinking about the problem rather than solving the problem? Yikes!⁠
⁠
👗 Dress.Up. It's honestly one of the things that makes me feel the most like myself. Without my "drag" I don't feel like Bianca 😘⁠
⁠
👗Sew all the things. Seriously, the bug bit me again and I already have new projects to make on my sewing cart. And spending time with a thread and needle is healing magic.⁠
⁠
So ya. New video coming this week. Stay tuned (and follow on the 'Tube!) ⁠

Beautiful things I brought back from the UK ✈️ Beautiful things I brought back from the UK ✈️⁠
⁠
🇬🇧 Liberty of London and V&A Museum archive pattern books. It was *extremely* important to me to purchase them... to observe the prints and patterns, to read the detailed historical notes, and to add to my creative and sewing library. I know I'll reference these over and over again in the future.⁠
⁠
🇬🇧 Liberty of London fabrics. HUGE because this is one of those textile design houses that I've only ever dreamed of working for (the other, btw, is Hermes 🥰)⁠
⁠
🇬🇧 Liberty "Alexa Frill Dress" pattern and notepad. The pattern is not something I normally gravitate towards, but I had no idea they actually had a pattern line so I wanted to check it out. The notepad will be used for my daily activities.⁠
⁠
🇬🇧Merchant and Mills wide bow scissors to replace my janky snips!⁠
⁠
🇬🇧 V&A Tote bag because... well, I needed one in the moment and the pattern was too beautiful to pass up!⁠
⁠
🇬🇧 Jane Austen inspired tarot cards. I only had 5-10 minutes to pop my head into the Jane Austen Center in Bath during a tour, and while I actually wanted everything in shop, I couldn't say no to buying one of my favorite things in the world *TAROT CARDS* at a gift shop dedicated to one of the authors who had the most impact on my young adult life. I can't wait to read with them!⁠
⁠
Is there something I should have picked up while I was there? Did I miss any Sewing Musts?⁠
⁠
As for UK Musts, I definitely 1- Got used to riding the Tube, 2- Ate Marmite, and 3- Had enough Traditional English Breakfasts to last me at least another year. All in all, fantastic trip.⁠

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 💍⁠
