Have you ever heard of Pattern Parcel? \u00a0Until recently I hadn't either but then several blogs I followed promoted a recent ‘pattern parcel' and I clicked through to find out more – I'm so nosy!<\/p>\n

Here's what they say about themselves:<\/p>\n

“Here at Perfect Pattern Parcel it is our mission is to offer high-quality pdf sewing patterns written by independent designers while supporting charity. We go about this in a unique way, by allowing the customers to choose \u00a0their own price in supporting the designers included in the Parcel. In addition to determining the total sales price, each customer purchasing the Parcel is able to allocate how much of their price goes to the designers, the company, and to the charity, DonorsChoose.org.\u00a0As a company we cover the costs of web hosting, design and payment processing fees from our allocated position, then we donate our remaining earnings to the charity as well.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Support Children's Education:\u00a0Donors Choose is an organization that matches up the needs of teachers and their students for specific projects with willing donors. The funds raised from each Pattern Parcel sale will go to help K-12 students in minimizing educational inequality and encourage a community where children have the tools and experiences necessary for an excellent education.
