Status Report Mar

Hi All,

Instead of me doing weekly status reports like before 11 mar or 5 Mar I thought it is better and easier for me to do a monthly report.  Yeah, I just couldn't handle weekly anymore. :)
Plan already down the drain, I know.

What did I do ON PLAN :

1. I finished the Nirma skirt pattern. I'm doing the final touch ups for the posts and photo editing.I've already posted some. You are going to love this. I'm also making a video. :) I hate my voice when I listen to thew videos. Please tell me about it when I post them. :)

2. I made a mini tutorial for the phus phus skirt. There were a few blogs referring to my tutorial but commenting that it is very elaborate and worth the effort. I thought why not do a mini tutorial for the more experienced who just want to glace.

3. I sew some Nirma skirts - colleague's daughter, for my daughter - video included     
daughter's friend

4. Sew a poltam skirt for daughter.

5. Posted some pending posts that I sew in Jan/Feb- beautiful circle dress, most complemented coat - people ask me where did you buy this. :)

6. First ever video tutorial - poltam skirt video tutorial

7. I set up google analytics and wow seeing statistics is just addicting. I get about 700+ views a day which I think is pretty good? Don't you think? I also got a peak of 3000+ views on one day. Really happy with that. Million Thanks to you all. :)
I need to work on the SEO bit now.


8. I set up markerly for all my pictures which was super simple. Totally love it.

NOT ON PLAN:

1. I had planned to make a nightie for my daughter in readiness for summer but that has carried forward to April.

2. I had planned to make the phus phus skirt of any length just like the poltam skirt. Again carrying forward.

3. My blog used to load very slowly due to the size of the images. I've now modified that although I've a few pages pending.

Status report 11 Mar

Hello people, yesterday was my status report day. Sorry for the delay.
So what did I do last week. Not much in terms of sewing. :( but have made good progress on the blog. :)
1. I sew nirma skirt for my daughter. Soon will be sharing the pics.
2. I'm making a pattern for the nirma skirt but I'm really struggling with laying of the pattern. Lot of maths involved there. There are so many options but I'm unable to draw out all the options.  Still trying. So that's in progress
3. I cannot do inches for the phus phus skirt or poltam skirt. Giving up on this one although planned. You read why cm or inches here.
4. I added social media buttons on all images. I'm loving them.
5. I've started to get quite some traffic these days. About 500 pageviews a day. it also went more than 1000 page views on a day last week. I'm really excited. I really really really hope it continues. Thank you so much.

Enjoy your week!
Preethi.

Status Report 05 Mar

Hi Friends,

My status report:
1. The images on the I made,  How to and what is used to appear elongated on the phone. Corrected this by removing the length attribute.
2. The calculation sheets for poltam skirt online calculator and phus phus skirt online calculator had to be cleaned up as there were lot of unwanted calculations. Did that.
3. Sew a Nirma skirt for my daughter's friend. I'll tell you why I'm calling it nirma later :)
4. Got flickr images working to embed them into the pages just like poltam skirt flickr and phus phus skirt flickr
5. Completed the poltam skirt with full tutorial and sew 2.

Here is screen shot:

Sewing status report 24 Feb 2014

Here is my status report for last week:
1. I had a few unplanned activities like sewing 2 poltam skirts and some blog enhancing which I completed. I'm now in the process of forming my step by step instructions for it. I'm hoping you'll like it.
2. The A line shingala pattern I'm deferring it for now. I don't think it will suit little girls unless they are made into dungaree. So I'm thinking why not make a dungaree pattern in the future just like dungaree dress I made before.

Thanks,
Preethi.
