The Sapphire Pattern is now available in PRINT!
Hello friends!
Ok, wow; I didn’t intend to take an entire month away from the blog, but May and June have been a bit of a blur. Elliot graduated from high school (woot woot, Elliot!) and Hugo “graduated” from 5th grade (yeeah, Hugo!). As I’m sure other parents can attest, the end of the school year brings a sort of wild, chaotic energy, particularly when you have a senior — and you just kind of hang on for the ride. However, I have now checked “Elliot grad party” off of my to-do list, and as some of you may recall, back in September I was feeling doubtful about my desire/ability to execute that part of the plan, so hurray! And it was really fun!! So I’m feeling quite proud of my graduate and now our little fambly is counting down the days until Elliot leaves for college and we find ourselves perpetually one member short. *SOBS*
Now then! Pulling self back together and back into work-mode! First order of business: to let you know that the Sapphire print pattern is now in shops, hurrah, hurray!!
Here’s the thing: the only reason I sell print patterns is because of the lovely brick and mortar shops that carry my patterns. So today, I’d like to highlight our Sapphire stockists, aka the awesome shops who answered my email to help me launch the Sapphire pattern in PRINT by being the first to carry it in their shops! THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERY ONE!
These shops are IRL brick and mortar sewing shops where you can purchase the Sapphire pattern (as well as my other print patterns) in person, and considering the current retail economy that seems pretty miraculous. So please support these fabulous spaces if you can, either in person or online.
