Many readers have been asking us about ways they can help support the site.\u00a0 I think we've found a good way and I'd like to tell you about it.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The vast majority of the content we produce in the form of free sewing patterns, sewing tips & tricks<\/a>, quilting articles<\/a>, and other sewing related content is absolutely free<\/strong>.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

We have a small number of paid sewing patterns still for sale on Bluprint<\/a> 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.\u00a0 Given the current economic issues, I think that this is more important than ever.<\/p>\n

We've released some very, very popular free patterns over the years that many of you have hopefully enjoyed.\u00a0 You can see a good list of our many free sewing patterns<\/a> here.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 It's a little like Patreon<\/a> and SubscribeStar<\/a>, 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.\u00a0 That would be fantastic!\u00a0 Unlike the other platforms, Ko-Fi also takes no commission on the way through either, which is great.<\/p>\n

If You'd Like To Support Our Site<\/h2>\n

If you want to help us continue to bring you a wide selection of free sewing patterns,<\/a> projects, and articles like this, please consider buying us a coffee to keep us going.\u00a0 We'd really, really appreciate it.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/center>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.\u00a0 I thank you from the bottom of my heart.\u00a0 You all really make me want to get up in the morning and keep creating!<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 Please stay tuned and we will notify you about these over on the Ko-Fi platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
