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!

A huge thank-you to the CSC and to everyone who loved the Jenna enough to vote for it. :-)
