Hey how are you? Are you doing alright? I’ve been thinking about you. I hope you and your family are safe and doing well. Are you keeping your spirits up? Have you been sewing? Started any projects? I started a “Project #What She Said, A-Z Comedians”. It’s helped get me through. I’ve been posting about it on IG. These ladies have been inspiring me big time! I’m almost through the alphabet!
Back before Covid hit, I was approached by our friends at Mollie Makes! They sent me a brief for a chenille eyeball pillow. “Hmm…” I thought, ”if I’m doing an eyeball pillow, I definitely need to do a wink pillow to go with it!”.
So here it is, Issue 121! To see the sneak preview click HERE. !t’s on the stands in the UK now. Sadly, we have to wait a few months for here in North America… BUT! They do have digital subscriptions if you don’t want to wait that long. To subscribe click HERE
Mollie Makes has long been a favorite magazine of mine since I received one as a birthday present eight years ago. The photos are scrumptious and the projects are always super snazzy! Here’s their official blurb:

Yeah, that’s pretty much what I said with snazzy right, lol! Did I mention they have great copy too!
Fun fact: due to Covid I had to take the photos for this project. It’s kind of surreal, not only to see your projects in a magazine but knowing you took the the photos too! Yep, that’s my house, my chairs and bowling pins! And Mollie Makes always does a fantastic job of their layouts. it’s not quite as easy as it looks. I’ve been playing with layouts lately, not so easy!
In other news. I have some BIG news!... coming soon! I’m busting to let you know. Not to worry though, I’ll be announcing it here first! As always I like my subscribers to get first dibs! Thank you for being here, I really appreciate it!
And speaking of first dibs, someone pointed out to me that my patterns in my Etsy shop are below the standard price for PDF patterns. They also pointed out by doing that I’m inadvertently under cutting other designers. You can imagine my horror, that was never my intention. I priced them years ago and hadn’t been paying attention. My bad. As of September 15th 2020 my PDF pattern prices will be going up to $10 USD. Again I wanted to let you know first because you’re awesome! AND if you wanted to take advantage of the savings, you’ll have a bit of time to do that!
Hugs! Stay safe and happy sewing fun-times!
