Ok first of all, I've done a small shop update - you can check it out here.
Camera straps, kindle cases, guitar straps and clutches.
I still need to write about Sewing Summit! But it will have to wait - I also have the most amazing sponsors who were so willing to help out when I emailed them a week before Sewing Summit.
They sent patterns and fat quarters and bundles and I got to give them away during my little talk :-)
A few packages didn't get there in time which ended up being kinda great actually!
Cause when I got back I saw one of my sponsors, Studio Cherie, has a Kickstarter project!
She makes amazing patterns - I'm sure you have all seen her duffle bags on Flickr.
I made one before our Costa Rica trip.
Well, now she is printing her patterns to sell in shops.
And, if you are a supporter of her Kickstarter project (at the $12 level or higher), you get exclusive rights to buy her patterns as soon as she releases them! Everyone else has to wait and buy them only from shops!
I love supporting small businesses through their Kickstarter projects - such a great way to help out our sewing community!
She has a ton of different levels - they range from $5 (and you get a free pattern!) to $265 (where you get 6!! handmade items).
And I have a giveaway to go along with this!
I have 12 luggage tag patterns from Cherie to giveaway AND 48 fat quarters from Sew Fresh Fabrics (thanks Peg!!) - so 12 winners will win a pattern and 4 fat quarters! How awesome is that?!
And, Cherie doesn't know I planned to do this, BUT if you support her Kickstarter project, you can leave 2 additional comments so you have 3 chances to win!!
Go check it out - such a great way to help out a fellow sewist!!
So, to enter the giveaway, leave a comment telling me your favorite candy (since it's Halloween) and if you support Cherie in her Kickstarter project, leave 2 additional comments!
Giveaway will open until next Wednesday, November 6th!
Giveaway is now closed - I will announce winners shortly!
