Philippa pattern charity donation

Hello everyone! Firstly - an apology for this post being so extremely late. :-( But finally, here it is! And with good news, too. Remember the Philippa pattern, that we launched back in late April? As with all new Muse pattern releases, we donated the money from the first sales to a charity. The first week of sales for the Philippa pattern were donated in full (less bank fees) to the Cancer Society of New Zealand - a charity chosen by the muse who inspired the pattern design. And we're happy to say - we donated a total of $204 USD (which worked out to $279 NZD when converted). So a huge thank-you to everyone who purchased the Philippa pattern...

Jenna expansion pack charity donation

Wow, what a fantastic response there has been to the Jenna expansion pack! A huge thank-you to everyone who purchased a copy, especially during our first week fundraiser. And we're excited to say that (after those pesky bank fees have been deducted) we raised $166.20 USD for the Wellington branch of the SPCA! That converts to $258.30 in NZ dollars, which was donated today. I hope you all enjoy the Jenna expansion pack, and all the other variations you can now make with the Jenna pattern. We'd love to see what you make with it - email us hello@sewingmuse.com so we can add your creation to the 'Made By You' page. :-) Happy sewing!

Charity donation from the Knit Sleeve Pack

Hello everyone! Remember when the Knit Sleeve Pack was launched, we promised the full sale price (less bank fees) for the first week of sales was going to be donated to Kids Can, a charity chosen by one of our Muses? Well, we're pleased to say that we've just tallied up how much that was and made a donation on behalf of you all! Want to know how much it was? We just donated USD $54 (which works out to NZD $72.80) to Kids Can. Yay!  A big thank-you to everyone who purchased a pack in that first week, and contributed to the donation.
