It's Sew Fab Sale Time!

Unknown Monday, February 4, 2013

Well, the time has come! I'm so excited about this. And I will admit freely that if you click any of the Buy It Now links in this post, I will be getting a cut of the sales. I don't *DO* stuff like that, right? Under usual circumstances, I'm all about not taking money for things that I've not done any work on. But y'all! SERIOUSLY.

By all means, read all the post below because Jenny at The Southern Institute worked really hard to make every bit of this amazing and bring all this awesome stuff together. But I'll be Captain Practical right here. Think about the number of gifts you have in a year. Birthdays, anniversaries, new babies, the holidays. Now, consider this. Every. Single. One. Of those events will be covered by this pattern pack. Every last stinkin' one!

My mom decides to travel more this year? She'll get a suitcase. Father's day? The Boy Scout is getting a Star Wars lunch bag. Someone has a baby and they get a bunny. There's a whole flock of little girls in my life and none of them have to have the same dress. My awesome sister? She can have her pick of tops or cowls or dresses. And for me? Replacing more throw-away wrappings with gift bags that will be used until I'm old and grey(er).

It's as easy as falling off a log - build an impressive, modern pattern collection that is infinitely useful in one fell swoop for WAY less than the cost of feeding the family at a fast food joint one time.

Then (and how I missed this I will NEVER know) there's a giveaway. A giveaway is so much fun - with very little effort you stand a chance to win so much neat stuff (I neeeeeed labels!)

Today is the 1st day of the 1st ever Sew Fab e-Pattern Bundle Sale and giveaway, sponsored by The Southern Institute and Fat Quarter Shop!

Over the past eight weeks a lot of behind the scenes work has taken place to bring you this amazing bundle of ePatterns from several of the top pattern designers and bloggers in the sewing and blogging world. The result is a bundle of 18 PDF sewing patterns that you don't want to miss.

For one week only, ten pattern designers have come together to bring you 18 of their best PDF patterns, valued together at over $139.00, for the incredible price of $24.95! That's over 80% off of the combined retail value! Plus you can enter to win a dream of a giveaway valued at $390 from some really great shops! For less than $25.00 you will have a library of resources that you can use over and over again. The designers that have joined this sale are experts in their craft. They have been sewing for a very long time and are well known in blogland and elsewhere. Each designer has contributed one or two of their favorite patterns to create a bundle that is sure to please! Whether you are sewing for your own family or making gifts for others, these are patterns that you will love to use. If you've never sewn with a PDF pattern before, let me tell you how great it is! After downloading your pattern instructions and your pattern, you will print out the pattern itself, creating pattern tiles, if you will. Simply tape the tiles together to create the full pattern! At that point you can cut out the size that you need and pin the paper pattern directly to your fabric or you can trace the pattern size that you need onto sewing paper or tissue paper and cut it out, saving the paper pattern for later when you need to sew another size. Pdf patterns are so convenient because you can print them out as many times as you need!
