Introducing Ko-Fi (pronounced like “coffee”) –a Great Way to Support Our Site

Many readers have been asking us about ways they can help support the site.  I think we've found a good way and I'd like to tell you about it.

The vast majority of the content we produce in the form of free sewing patterns, sewing tips & tricks, quilting articles, and other sewing related content is absolutely free.  We try to release a new, free sewing pattern or project every week on Sunday and if you're a long term follower, you'll recognize this.

We have a small number of paid sewing patterns still for sale on Bluprint but we haven't charged for a new pattern in years preferring to make our content free so everyone, no matter their means, can enjoy it.  Given the current economic issues, I think that this is more important than ever.

We've released some very, very popular free patterns over the years that many of you have hopefully enjoyed.  You can see a good list of our many free sewing patterns here.

I'm pleased to announce we've joined a new platform called Ko-fi (pronounced like “coffee”) that lets supporters give one-time or ongoing donations to support creative sites like outs.  It's a little like Patreon and SubscribeStar, which are pretty well known, but Ko-Fi is more geared to one-off donations –although you can certainly give on-going support as well.  That would be fantastic!  Unlike the other platforms, Ko-Fi also takes no commission on the way through either, which is great.

If You'd Like To Support Our Site

If you want to help us continue to bring you a wide selection of free sewing patterns, projects, and articles like this, please consider buying us a coffee to keep us going.  We'd really, really appreciate it.

We've been trialing this for a few weeks now and I've been truly humbled and inspired by the level of support already and the kindness of the comments from so many readers.  I thank you from the bottom of my heart.  You all really make me want to get up in the morning and keep creating!

In the future, we hope to be able to provide fun little extras to all our supporters on Ko-Fi.com just so show our appreciation.  Please stay tuned and we will notify you about these over on the Ko-Fi platform.
