I was very excited to do the drawing yesterday, felt a bit like Santa :) Now all these goodies will be on their way tomorrow as well as all the last-minute orders of last week. Ho ho ho!

Thanks to all my customers and friends who have participated in the giveaway and helped me reduce my inventory to very near zero. Happy sewing!

This is NOT a Black Friday Sale :)

2009-11-27T10:17:54-05:00

There's only 1 week left in to the store closing clearance sale. I still have a few sewing patterns and books in stock at 40% off, they make great gifts. Sorry, no more fabrics :( Remember you get one entry in the big store closing giveaway for every item you buy!

I'm making another big shipment this afternoon and then, I'm up to date on orders, yay! So even if your order status says "Processing", it either has been shipped earlier this week or this afternoon.

Have a great weekend!

Closing the store

2009-11-10T22:39:33-05:00

It's not an easy post to write, believe me! I'm closing the shop on Friday, December 4th 2009.

There's a Store Closing Clearance Sale starting now and ending at midnight on December 4th.

30% off all fabrics
40% off all sewing patterns
Shipping is free in Canada on all orders

It's been a great and fun adventure. I have the best customers and I want to thank you all! I enjoyed being part of your sewing projects, answering your questions, seeing and sharing your creations (and even buying some of them!).

I've started this shop with the goal to have a project of my own while staying at home raising my 2 little boys. I had not thought it would take so much of my time and I'm now simply rebalancing the work-life balance in favor of my family.

As I want this closing to also be a happy event, I'm launching a fun shop closing giveaway to thank you all. I'll be giving away 3 fabulous packages of fabrics, books and patterns. You get 1 entry for each yard of fabric and each sewing pattern you buy. Nothing to do on your side, I'll be compiling the entries and announce the winners in the week after the shop closes. I'll give more details about each prize composition in an upcoming post.

They're in! The 2 new sewing patterns Amy Butler releases this Fall just arrived today.
