5 Links I loved
- This look back at how Tilly & The Buttons evolved the design of their sewing pattern envelopes over the years is full of great advice: “Getting things done – especially something that feels so momentous and scary like launching your first for-sale product – involves knowing when a task is finished, and as good as it needs to be.”
- If you liked the look of the Totoro cream puffs in my cafe drawings, they’re from Shiro-hige’s Cream Puff Factory, who also have this adorable new Ponyo pudding.
- Loved this video about a mascot actor training school in Japan
- If you’re not feeling great about the end of summer, you need to have a browse of all the #fallthisinyourstyle drawings on Instagram.
- I am very into these space-themed quilts (via Laura’s newsletter, which is well worth subscribing to)
