So glad to have found you again. Somehow your weekly voting page stopped coming to my email and I thought you had discontinued them. Have only gotten a couple of the freebies as I missed most I see but it is very generous of you to offer them in any case. Love the Victorian patterns as well and as they are different those tend to be what I purchase for my dolls and use the modern ones for granddaughters! Thanks again.
Barb M – THANK YOU! You are a beautiful sole and I thank you for voicing my feeling exactly!
Didn’t vote this week as I have the patterns too—thanks to Cinnamon’s generosity over the last couple of years! Sometimes it took me a few tries to get some of them due to missing some the first time around. I’ve also purchased many more and they are all great—never had one not go together well.
There are simple to very detailed styles at varying prices for most all budgets. I’m a retired, fixed-income old lady and I can find a way to whittle out some pattern money! Skip the coffee shop, don’t buy the candy, save your coins in a jar, have everyone in the sewing group put in 50 cents or a dollar, eat out of the pantry for a couple of days—most everyone should be able to return the favor to Cinnamon by purchasing a pattern once in awhile instead of always expecting the company to give you a new one every week..
I’m sorry to say this—but I’m embarrassed by the manners of some of the commenters about why can’t we get some new ones, etc. etc. There ARE new ones some weeks—such as the very generous brand new historical pattern last week from Thimbles & Acorns (which Cinnamon also has something to do with getting it offered I’m sure) and several others, such as a jacket and a dress I can think of immediately, in not so long of a time ago. In between, there are always new people finding Pixie Faire and getting a chance to receive these basic and very useful patterns.
Please to those few complaining—think about it, like someone else on here said—what other doll pattern company gives free patterns every week, dolls, outfits and more? Plus does all the humanitarian work Cinnamon and her company does?
As my mother would have said—“Mind your manners and don’t forget your thank-yous!”
**Sorry to those who definitely don’t need this reminder—but not sorry to those who obviously do!
