Hi everyone— we are taking a shipping break until after the holiday for some much needed time off. The online store is still open for orders... so just know that I will ship your order out ASAP after July 10th.

Also: PS 🤫 the Minettes are in stock in the shop if you want to snag your pattern!

06/22/2026

Woohoo! This big pattern shipment has been in USPS limbo in Indianapolis since June 14th. But good news is I can start sending out Minette Stays soon!

If you're looking to add to your shipment- send me an email soon to let me know and I'll hold your Minettes until you put your order in for combined shipping— just do it soon because I leave for vacation this weekend.

For those of you waiting on this AND the Linen Preorder, you will be getting an update tomorrow!

If you're in the market for some cute tripes & plaids, check out what we've got ☺️

ALSO- I'm leaving the Minette Stays Preorder up for the rest of the day so you've got a few more hours to snag then at the preorder price.

Happy Tuesday!

❗Gentle reminder that the preorder sale ends on May 18th for paper versions and tomorrow for PDF files over a the site❗

This is the pair I made before my trip to Bath and they are seriously the most comfortable (and fastest) pair of stays I've ever made. I used 3 layers of linen and a very small amount of boning. Binding is minimal and they are very easy to alter to fit your shape.

These are a great first venture into stays if you're curious about historical techniques before jumping into the or patterns.

Don't miss out!

Time's a tickin' ⏰

Hello everyone! So sorry for disappearing— the end of April & beginning of May is a busy time around here (school coming to a close & birthdays to celebrate) and I've got my head above water now.

Thank you all so much for a fantastic Jane Austen Festival weekend! It was lovely to see so many people and get to visit with you all :)

The VFG website is up to date with inventory and I will be restocking patterns shortly. So if you don't see the size you need, never fear!

Have a wonderful Wednesday 💕
