Last hours of the Kickstarter!!! ITS ALMOST OVER!!!


Whew! In the last hours of my kickstarter. Just a couple hundred dollars (literally) for the stretch goal of extended sizing (listed above). Oh! You all have no idea how excited I am about this.
If you've pledges, consider adding a few bucks more, or share the campaign, or...just cheer me on! 
Thanks so much for all the support!
Yay sewing!!!

Monday Share the Campaign Day

Happy Monday lovely people.

Wow, it's still setting in. My pattern line has been funded! So super excited about that. Thank you all! Also, the exclusive design I created has ALSO been funded!


Now, I want to be able to make this in all the sizes, so please help with that. My last and most ambitious stretch goal is to take the sizing of my pattern line to 60 bust! So, all you seamstress folks out there know anyone who says "they don't make sewing patterns in my size" take this message to them, share the kickstarter on social media, and even word of mouth! It's all helpful!


Okay, I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving (and a happy week for those lovely non US folks) and I will chat with you seen!

Yay Sewing!

My Kickstarter campaign relaunched.

Hello lovely people. Either I really believe in this project, or I'm just asking for it. Wither way, I've relaunched my multi-sizing campaign on kickstarter and need backers as well as people to share the campaign.

Wherever!

Two major things that have happened from the last campaign are I was able to get a new printer and it's reduced the prices of the paper patterns by $5. The new price is reflected in the reward pledges.

Also, I extended the length of this campaign. It runs...UNTIL MY BIRTHDAY! Yeah! You heard it. This big gamble ends on my birthday!

So if you were a backer of the last one, got notice a bit too late, or were thinking about backing it, here is the second chance. I could really use your support.

My Kickstarter, the last week!

The other day I had some one tell me how super professional they thought my Kickstarter campaign was. They had backed a few campaigns, and they were really impressed with mine. From the video to the body copy, to the images, everything.

That made me feel so great. I'd been working on this project for months, researching campaigns, talking with people who had done them and what they did to make them successful, and I followed their suggestions to the letter. I wanted to make sure everything was visually clear, concise, and easy to follow.

I even storyboarded my campaign video and set up a makeshift recording studio for the audio (I'm SO not a sound dude) :)

But it all comes down to the backers. Campaigns can only do so much, but its the backers enthusiasm about a project, sharing it, telling their friends about it, keeping it fresh, that really truly sells it. Some campaigns have that naturally, others, like me, have to work for it.


If you have a blog or a facebook page, please share my campaign a few times this week. If you can tweet about it, please to so. And don't forget to back my campaign! 

Word of mouth is amazing too. Social media is all about personal endorsements. People trust that.

We can do this, y'all!

I moved!

Hello lovely people!
I know I have been out of it for a while, but these last few weeks are because I moved to a new place.
I didn't plan on moving, but a real nice opportunity came up and I decided I needed a change. I was tired of spending all my time on gathering rent and no time to play or work on other projects, and now I have that breathing room.


Look everybody, I made an outfit!


I made this outfit for the Vegan Oktober fest this past weekend and it was a big hit. I got a lot of compliments on it. The skirt is dyed red, with a vintage border I got at a yard sale a couple of years ago. The skirt is made from my trusty wrap dress pattern, I just closed the front.
