Amy Butler Fabrics

Amy Butler is another fabric designer I have an absolute fabric crush on. The bright, whimsical, and spectacular fabric designs bring a childlike sense of sophistication and excitement to any finished sewing project. This fabric designer is slightly different than my typical go-to modern designers that I tend to favor. However, there is just something about each and every piece that catches the eye. I used to love making my daughters clothing when she was a little girl with prints from Amy Butler. I even made my own nightgown to bring to the hospital when I was pregnant with my oldest son from the Amy Butler Love Bali Gate in Periwinkle shown above. It will always hold a special place in my heart when I see it.

2020 Coming to a Close

Image
 It had been a long time since I wrote in my Rentelov blog. Even though I am truly grateful for the opportunity to open Rentelov as a result of a need I wanted to help fill with PPE, the dramatic impact on the entire world has shaken us to the core. Both my husband and I contracted COVID-19 in March 2020. During this time, we were very worried and scared as the virus and it's impact on individual health was very new. The world was scrambling to figure out what the best course of action was. In fact, our hospital didn't implement masks until right after I became sick. I remember calling employee health and asking that I come get swabbed for the flu. My hope was that I could just get Tamiflu, and hopefully get right back to work. I rarely get sick and hated taking off work as I mostly needed sick days for when the kids weren't feeling well so that I could stay home with them. It was a rare occasion that I called off sick for myself. However, now that I was working around newb

Rentelov Goes International

Image
Rentelov has gone quite a few places since opening up an online shop in Etsy. As of today, Mod Scrub Caps have been shipped to 15 different states in the United States! However, this afternoon Rentelov has hit a very big milestone! One of our Mod Bouffant Scrub Caps will be handmade and shipped internationally to England in the United Kingdom! It's official! We have made it over the "pond!" This is such a big moment that has been celebrated in our household today. We are beyond grateful for everyone who has supported our small business endeavors to provide coverage to healthcare workers all over Ohio, then all over the United States, and now officially all over the WORLD! Our dreams are coming true and it wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for all of you. Thank you for supporting Rentelov!

Small Space With a Big Imagination

Image
I am part of a Facebook group online called "Sewing Room Ideas." My dream space would be a cute sewing space or rather a "she shed" for sewing in the middle of a garden with large windows and a cute little patio for drinking tea or coffee and relaxing. Much like Jane's sewing oasis in Reading, in the UK which was featured on Tilly And The Buttons The seamstresses in my "Sewing Room Ideas" Facebook group have some of the most drool worthy spaces. I applaud their proudly displayed trophy rooms. I always imagine what kind of wonderful creations are made in these spaces. There are so many creative ideas for sewing spaces, and I love to see what people come up with. So it gave me an idea. Why not show where all of the Rentelov creations are made?! My sewing space is small, but it certainly shows you that small spaces can have a very large imagination. My 2.5' x 2.5' table has been plenty enough surface area to fit both my Shark sewing machine and my
