Hello Pinterest

February 8, 2012 by Shellie Wilson

As CraftGossip’s head editor and co-founder AND as a Work-At-Home mum, finding time to work on CraftGossip & Craftbits is very hard limited.

So when I find myself spending endless hours reading through our social media networks like Facebook & Twitter I have to justify my addiction time.

So I am inviting all our readers to come along and follow me on Pinterest (see, now its a work thing).

I have been busy playing working with pinterest over the past few months and pinning my CraftGossip Top Picks as well as some other random boards I created.  I often pin stuff I want to cook for my husband (The Tech guy) or pinning activities I want to do with my children (The Distractors).

If you would like to join me in my new social media  addiction outlet, then come and follow me. The thought of people “Following” me is a little scary so I feel I should include a warning.

Warning: All followers are responsible for their own addictions and directions that pinterest will take them. Proceed with Caution.

Note: To follow just the top picks from CraftGossip, click here (this board will only get the top picks as chosen by me). If you want to follow everything that I pin (really?), then click here.

    Your post really made me chuckle while I was nodding my head in agreement in several places. While I do not currently have a DH or young ones around, I have a middle-aged nephew and a senior-citizen kitty (both Distractors). I loved this! Thanks for the way you made me smile and enjoy being part of the crafting community.

Etsy Spotlight: 1955 Baby Doll Nightgown & Bloomers Pattern

Vintage is making a serious comeback – and I’m 100% here for it. There’s just something timelessly romantic and effortlessly charming about retro styles, and this 1955 Baby Doll Nightgown & Bloomers PDF Pattern is a dreamy example. With delicate details and a classic silhouette, this three-piece sleepwear set captures the elegance and playfulness of mid-century fashion.

But here’s what makes it even more exciting: imagine sewing this pattern using vintage sheet sets! Not only does it give a sweet, nostalgic vibe (hello, florals and pastel stripes), but it also turns your sewing project into a sustainable, upcycled creation. Repurposing old linens is one of my favorite tricks for reducing waste while still making something utterly beautiful and functional. The soft, worn-in feel of vintage sheets also makes them perfect for loungewear like this.

Whether you’re sewing this for yourself, gifting it to someone special, or even displaying it as part of a vintage-inspired craft fair, this pattern is as versatile as it is adorable.
