Hello darlings!
A new year is upon us so I thought I'd update you on some changes happening. Skim through to find the parts you're interested in or if you're a die-hard fan you can read the whole post!
Social Media
You may have noticed a gradual slowing down of my Instagram over the last couple of months; that's because I've decided to focus more on quality over quantity. I'm going to do more small, daily updates on my Tumblr (@perfectlittleparcel) if you want to see the messier side of creativity.
I've also seen that you guys like my historical factoids posts so I will definitely be continuing with them in the new year.
TikTok
Some of you may have noticed that I quietly discontinued my Fashion History Friday videos. It was getting to the point where it felt more like obligation than fun, but don't worry- I will still be making similar videos, just with a less strict format and upload schedule. If you missed the series, it's still up on my YouTube here.
YouTube
I'm very pleased with the success of my knitted dishcloth tutorial, and I have more historical crafts lined up to make YouTube videos and tutorials of, including the knitted checkerboard sontag from my sontag blog post.
Email Newsletter
I like sending you guys an email newsletter once a month so as to not clog up your inboxes, and you all voted to have them sent on the first of every month on an Instagram poll. I've switched up the format a bit to highlight a fun (free!) project that you can do once a month, as well as the general updates to my shop and other blog posts. If you know anyone who would like a free project to do once a month, please do send them over to my sign-up page!
Books
I am still diligently working on my two books, one about practical costume making and one a more academic book about alternative dress. You can find both proposals here:
If you like the sound of either of them, please consider checking out my Patreon and supporting me there so I have more time to work on them!
Blog Posts
I have now posted all of my Patreon posts onto my website, and from now on I will be posting Patreon posts for free on my blog one week after they've released on my Patreon. There is still some early-access benefit to signing up to my Patreon but there won't be quite such a big delay between them being released for free.
Shop
My Etsy shop will be functioning normally, and , as always, I am always available for custom commissions.
I recently did a lot of work updating my short stays pattern which is currently a best seller, so if you purchased that before October 2024 and you would like the updated pattern please feel free to reach out to me.

Hope you have a wonderful new year, see you in 2025!
Until next time,
