Well the last couple of months have been very busy for me! Have you been to my new website? Pretty neat, don’t you think?
My favourite new feature is that you will now be able to create a free account which will keep a record for you, of all your pattern purchases made via the new site. That way anytime in the future, you will be able to login and retrieve your pattern files any time you need to! How COOL is that? Well, I think it is COOL! No more problems of lost patterns and expired links. Your files will be ready and waiting for you when you need them! 🙂
Having an account will also mean you can checkout much faster as you won’t need to input your info each time. PLUS another cool feature is that you will be able to chose your currency from a dropdown menu. This will give you a guide to the final price you will pay at checkout, which is in USD.
PLUS it is now MUCH easier to search for patterns. You can do so via Difficulty or via Type! That is going to come in mighty handy as I continue to add to and grow my pattern range!
Speaking rather loudly about my pattern range…I am very happy to announce that the Penny Inn, my contribution to this years bag of the Month Club, is now available for purchase in my shop!
You can read all about the Penny Inn, and see testers pics HERE!
PLUS…..I have a second wallet to introduce to you! The Pick a Pocket wallet!
FEATURES:
It’s the perfect wallet to grab on the go and either pop into your favorite bag or shove under your arm so you can make a quick getaway to the shops!
The PICK A POCKET WALLET features two different options. The first option allows you to sew an 8-card pocket on the left interior of the wallet, while the second option allows you to sew a second zipper pocket on the left.
For both versions, the Pick A Pocket Wallet features a zippered coin section and three slip pockets for notes and receipts, plus 4 card pockets, a vinyl ID pocket. It even has a slip phone pocket on the right side, under the tab so all your essentials are safe and secure!
Finished wallet size when closed = approx. 9cm (3 1/2″) W x 19cm (7 1/2″) H x 1.2cm (1/2″) D
Difficulty = Intermediate

I love these new patterns. Just finished my fourth Pick A Pocket Wallet with many more planned. The website looks fantastic with all of the pictures. What a great place to find inspiration!
I just love the new website! With so many pictures is a great place for inspiration. The new features are awesome, like having an account. The Pick a Pocket Wallet is a great pattern that many will make more than once. Making wallets is addictive and your pattern will be a definitely success. Congratulations on all your accomplishments!
