Our new Cherry Blossom themed window

Mar 20, 2019

It's that time of year again when the days start getting so much longer and brighter and we give our lovely big bay window in the shop a nice freshen up!

This spring Jo (who works in the shop and always does such an amazing job designing all the window displays) has themed it around the cherry blossom season with pinks, blue and green colour accents and lots of lovely details!

To see all the details of it in action, check out my latest Youtube video.

The garments

We've got a new outfit for our mini mannequin. The Two Stitches Zoe dress has some lovely details including a diagonal seam that runs into the back, in-set pockets and a button placket at the back. You could easier replace the buttons with little poppers - I know they are much easier especially for very little girls!

Here we used the Deer and Doe Nenuphar jacket made using viscose linen. This was a garment we featured in a past window display and we are expecting more linen and linen mix fabrics soon. It's paired with Closet Case Patterns Ginger jeans and a Grainline patterns lark tee.

For this outfit we paired the Closet Case Patterns Kalle Shirt made using a pretty cotton lawn with the Pauline Alice Rosari Skirt.

For this outfit we paired the Papercut patterns Kochi Jacket made using a viscose/linen mix fabric and a contrast centre panel and cuff with a Grainline Lark tee and another pair of Closet Case Patterns Ginger jeans. The spotty viscose linen has all sold out now but we have some lovely alternatives.

And finally our last mannequin also had the Papercut Kochi Jacket but the alternative version, which has a wrap and tie. We made it using some gorgeous viscose crepe, which has a lovely texture and weight to it.

All the details

I love all the little accents and attention to detail in this window. Jo collected twigs and using pink tissue dipped in bleach, she made beautiful cherry blossom flowers and wired them onto the twigs.

And this fan garland looks so pretty and colourful hanging across the whole window.

Using some beautiful origami paper, between us we made loads of paper cranes that are all hung up from the ceiling.

Tips on how to store and save your files and videos

There are a number of ways that you can access your files and videos for easy reference in the future.

In your email inbox
We recommend creating a folder in your inbox to file the order confirmation email so that you can easily locate it in your inbox in the future. This is one way to be able to easily find your videos in your own inbox.

If you have accidentally deleted an order confirmation email and would like it to be resent to your inbox, please email us info@guthrie-ghani.co.uk and we can manually resend it to you.

A saved playlist on Youtube

When you view a Hints and Tips video on Youtube, and are logged into the Youtube platform, you can save this video to your own playlist.

This playlist can be set to be a private playlist that you can view and all of the videos you have access to as part of a Sewing Society Kit or you have purchased as a stand alone video can be saved together here.

Create a playlist

To create a playlist when you are logged into Youtube, click the three dots icon that is under the video next to the share button. A menu will appear, click on save.

Add to Playlist

A window will pop up with a list of all of your play lists (if you have any) as well as an option to + New playlist. Click on this button.

Private Playlist

Type in the name of your play list, here I’ve called mine Sewing Society Top Tips videos and I’ve set it to private, so only I will be able to view it. Then click on the ‘create’ button.

You can view your playlists and the videos saved within them by clicking on the playlist tab of your youtube profile.

Storing on your device or laptop

You can download the pdf files and save them to your computer or device. You may want to create an electronic filing system for all of your sewing pattern pdf folders. Then within that folder, have different folders for the sewing patterns you own. If you own a lot of PDF files you may want to organise them by sewing pattern company.

Saving files to a device or computer relies on that computer or device always being accessible and in working order.

Saving to a google drive or cloud storage

You may have access to a google drive or another form of cloud storage such as dropbox that sits on the internet where you can save and store files. This works in the same way as sorting them on a device or computer but when they sit ‘in the cloud’ on the internet it means you can access them from any device as long as you have the login to that ‘cloud’ or drive.

Within the account area on the g&g website

Your files and videos will be stored under your g&g account, within the order that you originally placed for the files and videos. These can be accessed at any time and the links do not expire. You can navigate to the files and videos by using the steps outlined above.

We can also recommend that you may wish to make a note in a sewing note book or other other note book that you have of the order numbers that contain your digital files or links.

We hope these tips will help you to easily access the resources you have more easily and as always the g&g team are more than happy to help if you need any assistance at all in locating a specific order or files. Please do reach out to us by email info@guthrie-ghani.co.uk

Happy Sewing!
