Good morning, neighbors. It’s me again, Therese, from Sewsonew
and I just opened the doors at The Shop Next Door.

Every Sunday, I try to do a little bit of social media work on the local pages. I don’t always remember, and although I’m managing to bluff my way through the tech stuff, I’m not very good at it. But then, I’m not really taking this whole thing very seriously. Truly, it’s only just a little bit more than a hobby.

For those of you that don’t know, I’m a bit of an old girl, all retired from my big girl jobs and now I have a sewing room full of unloved clothing and beautiful gifted fabric as well as tons of ribbon, lace, notions, and trim waiting to be used up.

I try really hard not to buy anything at the secondhand shops, not always successful, but I’m on a mission to use up what I have in that sewing room whether it be by sewing up fabulous one of a kind outfits for you all to see or to use some of it for my own creations and then I’ll be gifting a lot of it away over the next little while. As it is, I don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel just yet and I don’t want to be doing this in my 80s.

That being said, I struggle with pricing my items because I know the amount of time and effort that’s gone into it, but I also don’t want to charge so much that people don’t want to buy what I have here in the shop.

So I’m trying something new. Today while I’m in the shop, every one of my handmade pieces will be offered for a 20% discount.

Come on by for a visit at 1187 Johnson Road. If you get here before 2 PM, you can enjoy some delicious food next-door at the five corners Café.

OK I changed things up a little bit. I felt like the two front panels/legs needed a distraction. I think adding these strips of fabric works. I’ve seen only one side of them down so the other side will be flapping in the wind. Just for a little fun. We’ll see how that works.

So I tried something new. This time I turned a pair of jeans into a flowy midi skirt. There is no size tag inside these jeans, but the waist is roughly 27 inches so definitely size small. The inserts used to be an unloved little skirt that begged to be used again. I love the colour mix and the lightweight fabric. The only thing that bugs me is that when I look at the photo, it looks like a pair of jeans. Well, it used to be a pair of jeans so I guess that’s only fair. I might try something a little different with the next ones. Stay tuned. Meanwhile, these will soon be available .nextdoor

I did a little something more with that funky blue skirt I found in Germany. I created another pair of wide legged jeans and added a few of the pink curly cues from the skirt. While I was at it, I added some of the blue fabric to the jacket. Both pieces are size small so maybe they could be sold as a pair. They will be priced separately though. Coming soon to .nextdoor

Sometimes things just don’t work out and you have to come up with a Plan B. That’s what I did here.

I still have a lot of the embroidered pieces in other colours to use elsewhere. Plus I have a small stack of beautiful blue silk. Stay tuned for what I do with that.
This little jacket is coming soon to .nextdoor

Good morning, friends. My husband and I just returned from a lovely vacation in Europe. If you’ve been following my Instagram, you will have seen that we started in the Netherlands, then hopped on a river boat to Basel Switzerland. We spent seven luxurious days floating down the Rhine river. It’s our first river cruise and it will definitely not be our last. Although it is a bit pricey, when you consider that all meals, wine and beer, tours and tips are included, I feel it was good value.

Now that we’re back home, it’s time to get back to work. I found a lot of inspiration on the streets and in the shops and I learned that so much of what I’m doing already is very popular in Europe. So I will continue with the many ideas I have and I can’t wait to show you.

Just for fun, I’m including a couple of photos of inspiration.

I’ll be in The Shop Next Door today and if you’re heading to the market uptown, take a stroll down the hill and pop in for a visit. It would be lovely to see you.
