The Sidekick Suitcase Pattern is here!

February 21, 2012 by Jodi 17 Comments

IT’S FINALLY HERE!

I posted it to my e-junkie shop yesterday!
The Sidekick Mini Suitcase!

It was a long time in coming (4 months-ish?), but I think it was worth it. This $10 ePattern includes gorgeous full-sized printable pattern pieces, 16 pages of instructions, and has been rigorously tested and reviewed by some amazing sewists.

To celebrate the release of the pattern, I would like to announce a giveaway, a discount, and a sew-along!


A GIVEAWAY!

Later this week, I will be sharing some photos from our pattern testers and hosting a giveaway of 5 Sidekick Suitcase Patterns. The drawing is to be held March 1st.

Sew Fearless Give Away Guarantee : If you buy the Sidekick Mini Suitcase Pattern in 2012 and later that year win the pattern in a giveaway, I will refund you the purchase price. So don’t wait to see if you can win it! Get your hands on the pattern today!

(Giveaway is here.)

A DISCOUNT!

I know there is a number of you who have been anxiously awaiting its release, so as a  reward for my faithful followers, I am offering $4 off the $10 pattern price for the rest of February.

Sew Fearless Facebook fans can find the coupon code hidden in under the “only likers” tab on the Sew Fearless fan page.

Not on Facebook? Current email subscribers will find the coupon code at the beginning of this post, and I’ll be sharing the discount code in the next post as well.

(I can’t offer a special code to RSS subscribers at this time. Sorry!)

A SEW-ALONG


I’ve made three suitcases so far, and I have four kids. See a problem here? Who’s up for a suitcase sew-along in March? We can walk through the pattern together. I’ll give tips and answer questions along the way.

Enjoy the Sidekick Mini Suitcase Pattern!

    Oh, I’d definitely be up for a sew along for this. Hopefully I’ll have my sewing space set up by then so I won’t have to work on it at the kitchen table. 😉

    A sew-a-long is a great idea! I’ve already bought all the materials so I’m ready when you are.

    Jodi,
    I have a couple of questions..after printing the pattern pieces do I line up the pattern pieces or overlap the letter/triangle area? Also, I didn’t see the discount offer until today, how can I cash in on that deal?

      Great question. Cut out the 4 partial pieces that make up the Front/Back. Then line up with the triangles “pointing” at each other. Don’t overlap.

      And shoot me an email with your receipt and I will investigate what I can do about the discount. 🙂

Sew Fearless is about a reckless pursuit of the sewing craft. It is about not letting your fears talk you out of your dreams. It is a place to go for encouragement, information, and sewing camaraderie. It’s a place where “done” is better than “perfect”, and where saying “I didn’t try” is worse than “I failed”. Read More…
