Going out of print......

It's time for a change!I have loved designing and creating new patterns, seeing them printed out and them working with distributors to have them sold worldwide! what a thrill! 

This process has taught me several things. One of them is that you have to keep producing. There are so many printed sewing patterns coming out all the time and the sewing shops want what's new. I have also learned that I love to create more than just sewing patterns. What usually happens is I come up with an idea to sew, then accessories to match and other projects that would go along with it. Hmmmm.....how do I make all that work in a printed pattern for an affordable price? These ideas seem better suited for a booklet.

I have also learned I love and appreciate the "ease" and affordability of creating a ePatterns and eBooks. I am able to combine more of ideas in 1 pattern and offer it for a great price since there are not printing and shipping costs. Yeah!

So - to get to the point of this blog post is, I am phasing out of printing my sewing patterns and booklets for now. They are going to be deeply discounted (and an even better price for my wholesale customers!) and when they are gone......they will be gone.

The good news is more ePatterns and eBooklets will be coming out over this summer and into this fall! I am really excited to show you what's coming up!!! Stay tuned.....and thanks for all your support!

Print it out or dimensions?

Hello! I have been enjoying all the fun ideas shared so far with the S.O.S series! Summer is going to better than ever at my house! :) 

I am working on several new ePatterns (yeah!) and I need some input from  you. I posted this question on Facebook a few days ago and also tweeted about it but I wanted to catch anyone here who didn't see either of those and get YOUR opinion. 

Would you prefer to:

1. Print out and put the pattern pieces together

OR

2. have me give you the dimensions with illustrations (simple squares and rectangles) and you can simply cut the fabric or create your own pattern piece template.

???? 

my inquiring mind would like to know :)

 If you can take a minute to weigh in - I would appreciate it! Trying to make the patterns as easy and "friendly" as possible!
