106 year old bungalow staircase torn out for a rebuild.

Looks like I won’t be heading upstairs to do any sewing this weekend!

Oh wow this is so good! Love a good metallic and the two prints together 😻

Grainline Studio We make easy to use sewing patterns that elevate your wardrobe while expanding your skill set. Plus tips, tricks, tutorials and more on our blog!

It’s been a wild week but we’ve rebuilt the bulk of our website and it’s live once again. Still waiting to take the sew-along pages live, they need some custom dev work, but you can search any of them and get the posts.

Yes! Do you have one of the best Archer collections out there? Absolutely yes 😻

It’s so bad right? I can’t even figure out what it’s supposed to be doing. Not everything (anything?) needs AI! I absolutely will do this tomorrow thank you x a million!!!

Oh hot tip thank you! This will probably be the bulk of my day tomorrow 🫠 If I get one more email from a service I use letting me know the GREAT NEWS they now have AI I’m going to lose my mind. So probably sometime tomorrow

Yes! And why can everyone else in my Google business account turn it off except for me, the admin! Why would I want you to summarize a 3 sentence email I just read?!

Our site has been down all day, sorry if you’re one of the people who’ve emailed / messaged us looking to purchase a pattern. I’m working on it!

Yes! Thank you!! She had what 2-3 windows in that room? Sure they’re big windows but Maria, let’s be real here.

Love it! I don’t actually think I’ve seen this hack on an Archer before which is kind of blowing my mind. It’s so good 😍

Surely this is the best use of everyone’s time 🙄

I can't believe fucking BLAGO! I mean all of it, of course, but as an Illinoisan UGH!

White woman with dark, wavy, shoulder length hair wearing a golden yellow rayon twill hip-length trench coat with a navy v-neck dress with white and gray polka dots against a white background.

It's a strange time to be a small business and have to promote your work, but last week I released the Cortland Trench in size 32 and I'm very happy to have that added to our catalog! It's also 20% off this week on our site if you're in the market for a cute trench!

Handknit socks in a 2x2 rib pattern. The socks are brick, coral, orange and terra cotta colored on a gray concrete background.

Well this looks much better! (Creepy unblocked pic further back in my feed). Already cast on the next pair – I’ll have an update on those sometime in the next 3-18 months based on how long each of these socks took me. #knitsky #handknitsocks 🧶

Love love love, and you're finally living in a climate for a scarf!

A striped shirt laying flat on a table with two teal buttons at the top of the button band and two smoke buttons at the bottom of the button band. Stripes are green, teal, orange, gray, navy, yellow.

I truly can’t believe I found a second garment for these teal shirt buttons! Bought them for a photo shoot and thought I’d die with them in my stash. Though honestly I still probably will cause there’s a lot of them 🤣 #sewsky #garmentsewing #grainlinestudio #grainlinepoppy

Two beagles sitting on a gray ottoman. The beagle on the left is a black & tan and the beagle on the right is tricolor.

Apologies to my neighbors for the absolutely unhinged scream run the three of us just went on.

No, once they’re washed and worn they look normal for life. It mostly only happens with the more rope like sock yarns and only when I’m doing 2x2 rib. Also when I say block I just mean wash & wear, unless it’s a gift I’m not fancy blocking my socks 🤣

Finished up a pair of socks today and honestly unblocked socks kinda gross me out. I mean look how creepy they are!! #knitting 🧶

Waiting for our supposed ice storm with tea, pattern formatting, and an episode of Murder She Wrote where Teddy the Beagle was FRAMED for murder! A beag would never!

It looks great! Hope you love wearing it💕

Love this whole look!! 😍

Thanks! Yeah I’m glad to have them to distract from things right now because my brain is about to explode

It’s too much!!

Glad to be of service 💕

Aww he definitely would have been friends with these two. The only thing they won’t touch so far is lettuce!

If anyone needs a break from the news, here’s two silly photos of my beags eating beans. They make me laugh so hard even when things are falling apart everywhere 💕

I love them soooo much!! We’re def gonna need more beagle content from them. Beagles are so good at getting on the table, or in the window next to the table in our case 😜

So cute! I made one and wear it all the time, looks like this one is destined for the same!
