All my patterns are in PDF format. Why you ask?

Because it’s the next best thing to being right there with you to show you every step of the way.

I can share with you my thought process, show you what I do and why. Talk about the right fabrics for the project, talk about thread choices and most of all show you what I do, what I use and how I do it. The most important word in this paragraph is “SHOW YOU” (ok so that’s two words).

Printed patterns are limiting,

• because of cost they only allow me to show you so much
• you get a few diagrams and lots of words.
• they can leave you wondering what to do

The benefits of digital files

• low cost
• I can show you EVERYTHING! there is no limit
• they are available immediately after purchase
• no extra shipping charges
• you get more for your dollar
• tons of photos can be included at no extra cost
• seeing what to do increases your abilities and confidence

It’s kind of like getting me to be your personal tutor. I get all my stuff together, come over to your place and sit down with you for a personal session to show you what to do. What could be better!!! And if you even have any questions you can just email me and I will help you.

And if there is something I can do to make a pattern better for you, then let me know.

Because these patterns are all about you, about teaching you new things, fun things that you can have fun making. I want you to enjoy them, so it is important to me that they work for you!

Teaching is a process that evolves, and patterns are no different. It’s the sharing of information from me to you and feedback from you to me that makes a better product. I want you to have a better product!

The patterns are easily viewed by having the free Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. That is all it take to view the pattern files.

I will be releasing many new patterns this year, just as fast as I can get them together I will make them available to you. If you would like to know about them as they become available then you can subscribe to this blog, because I will announce them here.
