Small Space With a Big Imagination

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 Janome serger. I also have a sewing organizer tucked away underneath my sewing space which perfectly holds all of my notions within' arms length. My little white trashcan is easily accessible to throw away small bits of fabric or thread so that these don't end up all over my living room floor. Each item has its place and provides a happy corner where I can still be in the same room as my family, watch my children ride their bikes and play outside, or be alone and watch my favorite shows such as Call the Midwife, Downton Abbey, Killer Couples and Snapped.
One day, I will have a drool worthy sewing shed which I will display proudly. For now, Rentelov has its creative space right here in the heart of my home.

Art Gallery Fabrics

Recently, I discovered a love for the beautiful clean lines and artsy feel of Art Gallery Fabrics. Their line of gorgeous designer fabrics has been a delightful addition to my modernized bouffant surgical scrub caps . I have used three fabric designs thus far and have received raving reviews of how absolutely gorgeous, soft, and lightweight this fabric is. The superior thread count and fine weave transforms this premium cotton into a truly soft and smooth touch. The colors stay vibrant wash after wash and will certainly be an added staple to my scrub cap line. *Art Gallery Fabrics- Pine Lullaby Rediscovered Etchings Mist Black/White/Teal, West Palm Beach Treasures Luminescent, Coquet Bouquet from Joie de Vivre, Summer Side Bongalow Blood Moonrise www.artgalleryfabrics.com

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!
