Time to take a beat!

Hello from the Simone’s Rose studio!

Hello from the Simone’s Rose studio!

You may have caught wind of our radical news through our social media platforms but if you haven't...  We're doing something we never (ever) do!  Starting Wednesday July 29th through to Wednesday Aug 12 we'll be closing both our Etsy and SimonesRose.com online shops.

These past 4 months or so have been a whirlwind to say the least.  From not knowing what would happen to this business I worked so hard to build, to switching gears into making personal protective equipment in the form of masks and medical gowns and launching a collection at such an uncertain time - it has been a rollercoaster.   The work days have been long with very little breathing room in between so here we are - time to take a beat.  

We'll still be plugging away behind the scenes to catch up on and to process all orders received through to July 29th and then I look forward to taking some time to soak it all in and reflect on all the things I'm grateful for.  

All orders placed by Tuesday July 29th will ship within our normal time frame.  Ready to ship items: 1-3 business days / Made to order items: 3-10 business days.   Please note, this will not affect any current orders.  Rest easy - don't panic, we're not going anywhere, just taking a much needed break.

Online shops will re-open Thursday, Aug. 13th

Thank you for all your support recently and always,
Michelle
Founder / Designer / Maker

Chit Chat with Lisa Kisch / And Sew On

Hello lovelies!   I recently sat down with Lisa Kisch, from the popular YouTube channel And Sew On.  We talked about what its like being a designer and how I came to start my business, the fabrics I use and I threw in some tips on sewing, machinery & pattern making!  

If you're a "sewcialist", you'll love Lisa's content and channel!  AND there's a little giveaway happening because I couldn't resist handing over some of my personal fabric stash to share with Lisa's viewers.  Check out the videos (yes, there's 2 videos because we couldn't stop the chatter!) - Part 1 here and Part 2 here.   Don't mind my messy studio either - its where I work so, things get messy!  ;)  To win the giveaway(s) you'll have to subscribe to Lisa's channel / follow Simone's Rose on Instagram and comment on one of the videos + the post on my Instagram with the photo shown below.  Good luck!  

OH!  And there's a Simone's Rose discount code in it for you too!  Check out Lisa's video notes to discover the code & check out our shop!  :)
