SUPER Spring Sale! And, some new lower prices!

To celebrate spring I am having my first ever "SUPER SALE".  What makes it so super?  Well, every now and again I have my 3 for $10 embroidery pattern sale, but for the first time ever (that I can remember anyways), I am having a 3 for $10 ANY pattern sale in my Etsy Shop.  That is right, ANY 3 patterns ... including sewing patterns!

This sale will be for a limited time only ... so go on, go scoop up some patterns!

And if you do not want to buy 3 patterns, I wanted to tell you that I have some new pricing going on too.  Now there is bad news and good news here .... the bad news is, is that some of my prices increased, but the good news is, is that a lot of the prices decreased. 

It is always a struggle to come up with prices for patterns, and every now and then I review my prices to see if they need to be changed.  In order to try and standardize my pricing somewhat, all of my embroidery patterns are now $4.00.  There were a couple that were either $5 or $6, but I decided to make them all $4.00. 



The "Days of the Week Bunting Embroidery" pack ... used to be $6, and is now $4.

My sewing patterns varied in price from $3-$8, and in an effort once again to eliminate some of the price discrepancies, my sewing patterns are now all priced $5-$7.  So, some give and take here ... some are lower in price, some are slightly higher, but now ALL of the patterns in my shop are between $4-$7 and I feel that is a good place to be.  




The "Flat Bottom" Pouches pattern, used to be $8, now it is $7.

In some ways it is easier to price handmade items because you have a starting point (cost of supplies), and you can go from there.  But with patterns, there is no cost of supplies once you have your pattern put together, but there is a lot of time spent on developing the patterns, and that is where it is easy to get emotionally attached to a pattern, and price based on emotion rather than what really makes sense.

So, I hope you will all enjoy my new standardized pricing ... all patterns are between $4-7, and for a limited time you can get any 3 of them for only $10 ... cool right?

If you sell original/handmade items do you find it difficult to come up with prices? 

P.S. The sale and new pricing are available in my Etsy shop only, not my BigCartel Shop.  The pricing in my BigCartel Shop will not likely change, as I am contemplating closing it in the near future.  It is just a lot more work to maintain 2 shops as opposed to just 1.
