What’s New in 2015

I hope you are having a good 2015 so far. I have been planning and planning until my head hurts, ha!  I’ve been wanting to take  some steps to move Around the Bobbin to the  “next level” and it took me a few weeks to think and plan what that might look like.  This is what I’ve come up with!

New Logo

First, I’ve been wanting to update my logo so that it is a bit bolder and more defined and so it works better on a variety of backgrounds instead of getting lost in the background.  I am pleased with the result and  soon it will be on my website and other places:

Newsletter

Second, I’ve been wanting to set up a newsletter so that I can connect with people who are interested in Around the Bobbin stuff. I wanted to create a way to send free patterns, discounts and other goodies to you so the first issue will be out soon.

In fact, you can sign up right here!  Don’t forget to confirm your subscription when you get the email requesting confirmation of your email address! Then wait for the good  stuff – it will follow!

21 Totes Project

Finally, I want this blog to be a place to explore new techniques and  to be creative, not just a place to promote my patterns.  One thing I’ve been wanting to do for awhile is just sew some bags to feature a technique or look and not necessarily be tied into making a pattern each time.

So, starting tomorrow I am “launching” the 21 Totes Project!  It will include 21 different totes that I will sew up and feature on the blog. Some of them might end up in a pattern (let me know if you want that) and some of that will be just a fun way of being creative and learning.

So that’s the news around here!
