Dear friends.

 

Wow. I just looked at the last email I sent out to you over two months ago and...SO MUCH has changed since I sent that one out. And that is the understatement of all understatements. 
 

There are so many things I've been meaning to show you and tell you about since my last email. The week after I flew home from my third trip of 2020 (Mexico, New York City, and then Seattle -- could we have ever imagined how travel would end so suddenly??), my kids' schools closed, everything shut down, and like so many of you I had to figure out how to balance work and family in a totally new way. Here are some of my thoughts on that on my blog if you missed it: All of this is new

 

While my ability to work on MBR projects (both mentally and logistically with a new schedule and set of demands) has definitely shifted (and, not only has this changed for me, but also for Elli, Jess, and Karen, making our work as a team more complex), in many ways the projects I've been able to work on have offered a point of focus and are as such a huge blessing and source of gratitude for me. 

 

So, though it's definitely not "business as usual" at MBR, here are some of the projects we've been working on:

 

 

WASHI UPDATE 

 

A lot of you have been emailing about the Washi pattern update, which we are in the midst of putting final edits and finishing touches on. I am hoping we will have it out very soon!

 

 

I'm so thankful for all of you for being a part of the sewing community, for supporting my business, and for being here. Please take care of YOU and stay healthy and safe so that you can continue to create beauty and change in the world. 

 

Happy sewing!

Rae

 

PS. Here's a few more posts you may have missed: a swimsuit I made for my trip to Mexico, things I've been knitting, my pink hair, and the new website!
