A coupla things..

Hey everyone!!

Thank you so much for the orders. We didn't quite know what to expect, but what a pleasant response! I'm feeling the love.

A lot of people are responding that they are having issues with an error message on the site after returning from paypal. We're working on it, but rest assured that if your paypal payment goes through, we received the order.

I've had questions about wholesale orders. If you have a wholesale order open with us, you do not need to place it on the website. In the future, you are welcome to place orders through the website though! You will need to apply for a wholesale account with us here. We will approve the account and you will be able to purchase wholesale from the website. Wholesale accounts are for shops / websites that resell the patterns. I have given group buys so if you have a number of buddies and you guys want to go in together, that's a-o-k with me. Just shoot us an email! Please just keep in mind that if you are wanting to sell the items made from the pattern, I ask that you buy it retail somewhere. Be it from me or someone else!

There will be credit card payment available from the website as soon as we are given an increase in the monthly processing volume. We didn't apply for enough when we were setting up the account! Oops. Hopefully that will be available soon. :)

Thanks again all, I'll be back soon!

Sandi

Sandi, Congrats on the site. It looks great! I really like the touches of flash. Ordering soon. Keep up the awesome work.

I LOVE that you include the fabric requirements on your site!! That makes it so easy for people like me who want to order the fabric right away after finding a great pattern.

I ordered the Claire from a fabric coop... hope they ship them out soon. :)

Hey stranger. Seems like you're keeping yourself busy as usual. I feel like we don't have friends anymore now that school is in the nitty gritty stage...how sad. We totally need to get together when we all have time...impossible right? Well, congrats on getting everything up and going. Have i told you that i'm sooooo utterly amazed by you? Love all the new patterns! I'm still dumbfounded by your pattern signing ...how did it go by the way? Love ya

[Trudy Jones]

Great Job with the website. Ordered pattern already. Confused as to knowing if it was in time to get one of the patterns you had in stock (Claire) or if I am on waiting list. No feedback from website or emails sent. Am I missing something? Afraid that I will be frequent shopper of your patterns, they are fantastic on the website, assume they will be even more in person. Anxious..the best to you.

[Tiff@Three Peas]

I'm waiting for Pay Day to come around to place my order. I can't wait!

[Abby Hicks]

Love your fabric...have used it in a few of my applique patterns and we sell out all the time! Can't wait to see what you have at Market. I'm making a quilt for my daughter's antique iron bed with Farmer's Market....soooo cute. I'll send a pic when I get it quilted.

It is always such a thrill to see that you have stopped by my blog! As for the crockpot applesauce, I merely googled it and made the first one that popped up. Super easy and so yummy. :)

[Betsy Pratt]

Sandi - Your new site is absolutely gorgeous! FYI - the message after returning ot your site is this: "This page requires AC_RunActiveContent.js." I was still able to see your site without any other issues, though, so no big deal!
As I commented in my web order - keep those scrumptious fabrics, patterns (and your surprises!!)coming. I looove them!

Hey the website looks great and from what I've been hearing you have been really successful if you guys need anything let me know I usually can't help with doing anything cause with my kids I end up bringing more problems but if you and Dustin need kid releif for a few hours I can help with that! Congrats!

[Brandi Ginn]

I got my order yesterday! Thanks so much!!!

I wondered a couple things...Since I have 4 girls ranging in ages of 3 mo. - 9 years I'll want to use all the sizes in the patterns at various times. So what would you reccommend is the best way to copy/transfer each size into individual pieces?

And unless the info is written on the pattern itself (which I haven't opened yet), I didn't see directions on what length to sew the seams. I know standard comercial patterns are 5/8" is that the case with your patterns?

Thanks, :)

[Sandi Henderson]

Hi Brandi!

Glad you received your order. :) The seam allowances and other info is on the back inside page. The seam allowance for my patterns is 1/2 inch. I recommend just marking through the pattern with a pencil or pen right onto the fabric. I make dots every 3-4 inches and then remove the pattern and cut it right out. The pattern paper is thick enough that it won't fall apart from this kind of use!

I just received my patterns in the mail!!!!! Yeah! I am so excited thanks so much Sandy. Great service. I'm going to try them and see how I do then I may be back for more.(hehe) They are so beautiful and I love how the book came with them showing you step by step. So you see exactly what to do. I would recommend you to anyone. You are such a wonderful designer. Well worth the money.

[Nancy - simplee*weea]

Hey Sandi, I got my patterns yesterday and I can't wait to make them. They look wonderful and worth the wait. Thanks also for the freebie. You are the best.

Hi! just recieved my patterns Gracie and Claire. Loving them.
I am trying out Gracie and am having quite a time getting the yoke attached!
I am a pretty good seamstress and this is just not working out for me!
I have the bodice part sewn up but the yoke is not long enough to go across it for some reason.
I think I have to cut a new yoke.
So frustrating but I know it's going to be cute!!!!!

[barbie]

Me again.
Ok, either I am completely reading this wrond and am dyslexic today ;-) or there is a pretty important typo in Gracie.
On page 12, #2 you say that you have to "align the top of the bodice with the INSIDE edge of the yoke." I am thinking it should say the outside edge of the yoke maybe? I always try to follow a pattern EXACTLY the first time I make it and then change things the next time around. I was really trying hard to attach the inside edge and there just wasn't enough length there. And it was going to be completely wonky when I opened it up after sewing. Has anyone else had this trouble?
I know if I were a beginner and got to this step I would throw up my hands and quit!
Sorry if I am the only one who has read this inncorrectly!
Thanks for great fabrics and adorable patterns!

[Anna/Flowergardengirl]

Beautiful site. When my gardening calms down--I'm going to order! I found you through Alphainventions.com. The colors on your blog drew me in!

[Andrea]

Hi,

I'm wondering if Barbie ever got a response to her comment. I am having the same issue with the yoke. So confused!!! :(

Andrea

[Liz]

I am also having issues with the yoke. I think it must be a typo because the pattern has the markings on the OUTSIDE edge rather than inside. Has anyone had this problem solved yet?
