May apology for being absent this past month. It has just really been a hard month. There we so many bad memories, new awful memories and deaths of people you care for, added to my own blues for this time of year...I just didn't have the strength to post or to take the required time to photograph and write for a post or recorded an video (truth is I thought I may break into uncontrollable sobs if I'd tried). I didn't have the words to speak on what I wanted to talk about and no desire to really speak on nothing else. I was in quite a funk! I was mourning old loss combined with new loss (not DIRECTLY but still a valuable part of my life). I still don't fell ready to cover it but I think I need to address it and let go of the feelings I have on this subject. Ummm, next week, sigh, today still too fresh today.
I also have a review coming up on the classes available through Craftsy (if you don't know what that is I will explain in more details in coming weeks. But basically it's an online site where you can not only purchase patterns for various things, it's also a great resource for learning. You may also purchase classes from them. This is the service that I will be reviewing in coming weeks, super convenient). But for today I will just share with you how to sell patterns and make a little change if you have been creating your own patterns (or as I, plan to do so when you have a little more experience). I have many classes with them so I will be reviewing my experiences with them from time to time. I will do one of the reviews this month and the next maybe 2 months after that one, unless otherwise requested. As far was what I am sewing this month. I plan to do a pattern review with the awesome fabric I bought last month from my co-op fabric group. I am supper e excited, I have wanted to make this outfit for a while now, I was just waiting to find the perfect fabric. I will do the pattern review and probably add pictures of the process, maybe step by step also. Or I may just do the pattern review and them a video of the step by step. Ummm, which one would you like to see?

In addition to wonderful online courses and craft supplies, Craftsy also has an independent online pattern store that lets anyone upload and sell downloadable e-patterns with no fee!
How do you add a pattern to Craftsy and start your pattern store? It’s easy!
1. Make sure you have a Paypal account. All pattern transactions happen through Paypal, and Craftsy requires that you have a Student, Premier, or Business account in order to sell patterns.
2. Put your pattern in .pdf format. You can’t upload any patterns to the online pattern store unless they’re a .pdf file format, so if they’re currently saved as a Word doc, .jpg, or other file format, you must convert it to a .pdf before you upload it to Craftsy.
3. Include a photo. All patterns must have at least one photo to accompany them, but you can add up to five photos. Colorful, interesting photos tend to work the best for catching our members’ eyes!
4. Fill out the pattern description. We will ask you some basic questions around your pattern making it easier for Craftsy folk to find your pattern and know what your pattern is for. Make sure you have info about your pattern handy for this step.
