What an amazing and busy week I have had! I would like to
thank all my customers, friends, family and fans out there for their wonderful
support. Without you guys the dreams of having my own business just would not
be the reality it has become.
With black Friday and cyber Monday now far behind us, I was
in two minds about raising all my sewing patterns back to their regular prices.
I found though that I really just couldn’t, I was having such amazing responses
from everyone that I decided to continue my sale right through December
2015. Though from 1st January the prices will be returning to their
normal values, so take advantage of these ridiculously cheap sewing patterns
while you still can. (Click on the button to the right of the page).
This week’s patterns in review
The envelope style fabric gift bag.
This bag was such an instant hit, not just among my sewing
patterns fans, but among many who could not sew at all. I had friends and
family asking me to make packs of these bags for them to use during the festive
season. For days I sat happily sewing away at these packs.
These bags aren’t just great for your own personal use, but
to create for friends and family too. It’s a gift that keeps on giving... you
too are welcome to use my sewing pattern and take orders from your friends and
family for that little bit of extra spending money over the upcoming festive
season. And remember the sewing pattern comes with
a free gift pattern too.
The under dress, that’s also a great over dress.
I originally created this pattern to go along with my
batwing collection of dress patterns. I just loved making these in chiffon for
those hot summer days, but needed to wear a little something underneath to
protect my... ummm... modesty.

However, as it turns out, the under dress makes a great
summer dress all on its own. I have now made myself a few in a variety of
colours. It also comes in two lengths, mini and knee length.

A cause close to our hearts
Boo Lè Heart clothing and My Sewing Patterns
has had such a wonderful and prosperous year that we have decided that from
this point onwards a percentage of our profits will be donated to a worthy
cause.
For 2015 and 2016 we have decided to support the African Birds
of Prey Sanctuary in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. This sanctuary not
only creates a sanctuary for birds of prey who are injured beyond being able to
be returned to the wild, but it also works as an educational centre to help
teach us about these amazing creatures, so that we have a better understanding
of them and the troubles they face.
Every month we will keep you updated as to how much we have
been able to raise for this very worthwhile cause.
