Global Connections

Since I created my blog and started the pattern business, I have connected with so many people from all over the world. I love hearing about different people and cultures, from what there day to day life is like to what the weather is like. It's awesome that something as simple as sewing can bring people together.


It has been such a blessing to make new "internet friends" all over the world and see what they create with the patterns. The choices of fabrics and the creative changes made are an inspiration.


I looked back through my Etsy sales and here is a list of states and countries that customers live. I don't get the customers state or country from the YCMT and All Brands Sales but the Etsy sales shows what a variety of places that customers purchase from.

Customer Creation - Betsey/Joey Shorts

Here is a customer creation from the Betsey/Joey Shorts Pattern.

Here is what she said,

"I just received a sewing machine for Christmas so these will be my first ever projects – I am really looking forward to it! "

Just a day or so later, I got this awesome picture and email from her. I feel honored that she chose my pattern for her first project and did such a great job.

"I got straight into the pattern – I found it so easy to use – and me being a first timer I was really scared! Had no reason to be!

I was making these shorts for a nephew of mine, I am using them as PJ’s – and have a little bag that can sit on his pillow with them in. For the t-shirt I used an iron-on transfer of his (Australian) football team logo with his surname on it – A little book completes the gift – fingers crossed he likes it as much as I do! Lol "

Thanks Ally for sending the picture. I can't wait to see what else you create.

Karen Capri Set Customer Creation

Here is a customer creation by a grandmother for her granddaughter using the Karen Capri Set pattern(available on Etsy and YCMT). It is so bright and colorful. The piping above the ruffle really adds to the look.
Here is what she said:
"I just finished the outfit and I love it...... Your clear instructions made it sooooo easy! "

Thanks Beth for sharing these pictures of your adorable outfit.
