Words just can't say...

I have been trying to find a good way to write this post. My first in a long time! And sadly, it's going to be my last for a long while. See, I've decided that it's time to focus on other things in life like family, friends, and well generally all the things in life that aren't work related.

Keeping a small business going, being creative, and trying to juggle all the other important things just wasn't happening. Case in point, haven't turned on my sewing machine in about a year for anything other than mending clothes for a four year old and dog toys. :)

All my extra energy has gone into a recently found love of fabric design and I will miss it A LOT! But never fear - there is plenty in the hopper you see. One new line Marguerite and another coming in the Spring name Callipoe (which I heart a whole lot - it's my favorite yet).

You can still find my patterns for download on Craftsy, and at a few distributors for wholesale sales until their stock runs out.

Goodbye friends - for now - until my schedule permits entering the biz again. I'll miss all the amazing, wonderful, talented, and lovely friends I've made along the way. Hope to see you all again soon!

Instant gratification... ePatterns are here!

Recently I stumbled upon a great new site called Craftsy and I thought it was just dandy. Well, then I started looking into this site, and realized they have a great new way for independent designers to get their patterns out into the world digitally.

So I figured I'd give it a whirl and dug in a little deeper, and sure enough, it was cool! I have been wanting to offer my patterns as digital downloads for quite a while but was searching for a quick and easy way to make sure everything when smoothly for you pattern lovers out there.

Plus, since they are instantly downloadable, you can have them right when you need them. No shipping costs or wait time. Voila! There's nothing like a little instant gratification, eh?

So, to start things off, I am offering a few of my patterns in my new Craftsy store and will be adding more over the coming week. Of course, I will still be offering printed versions of everything at my Stitch Studios store.
