HAVE A GOOD ONE!





Wishing you a very merry festive season!

I hope you have a lovely few days planned - what are you up to? I'm looking
forward to snuggling into my glow-in-the-dark PJs with a glass of sherry, eating
my body weight in cave-aged Gruyère and watching Edward Scissorhands. I've got a
sweatshirt Coco dress cut out and ready to sew, and might finally get around to
starting my second ever knitting project.

We're going to be taking a break from processing orders from the shop until
Monday 5th January. You can still order stuff during this time, but physical
orders won't get posted until 5th Jan, and we won't be answering emails until
then either. Digital patterns won't be affected - they will be emailed to you
automatically as usual.

Speaking of digital patterns, you may have heard something about VAT MOSS (or
#VATMESS) and the resulting impact on sewing pattern businesses and the choice
that you have as a customer. Basically there is some new EU legislation coming
in on 1st January 2015 which means that anyone - in any country - who sells a
digital product by automatic download to a non-business customer in the European
Union will now have to pay VAT at the customer's rate, rather than the seller's
rate. This affects sellers of digital products all over the world, not just in
the EU. The result is quite a bit of extra work for businesses in terms of VAT
registration either in every single EU country they sell to or to the simpler
MOSS scheme, as well as filing quarterly VAT returns and reporting on customer
data.

Why am I telling you about some boring tax issue? Because, sadly, some small
businesses have decided to stop selling digital products - including PDF sewing
patterns - because they find the work load and accounting costs too burdensome.
I totally empathise with them, and quite frankly I'm gutted that this
legislation is going to have such an adverse impact on digital entrepreneurship
and the growing choice we have come to appreciate in the craft community.
Hopefully in time there will be some solutions in place to help reduce the
logistical and financial burden of this legislation on small businesses, who,
ironically, the decision was supposed to help... Okay, this was supposed to be a
lighthearted Christmas post and has now become a long rant about tax legislation
(sorry!), so I'll stop in a sec, but I wanted to let you know that I am all set
up for VAT MOSS and will continue to offer digital sewing patterns in my shop in
the new year, since we know that many of you love having this option.

Phew.

I don't know about you, but my brain needs a rest for a few days. Be back soon.
Have a good one!

FABRIC SHOPPING IN PARIS






As promised, here's a round up of the fabric shops we visited in Paris a few
weeks ago:





Anna Ka Bazaar
17 rue Jean Beausire, 75004 (metro Bastille)
I fell head over heels in love with this delightful boutique, run by the same
people who design Atelier Brunette fabric. It’s teeny tiny but everything in
there is so well curated, from pretty stationery and Japanese books to fabrics
and trims.





Lil Weasel
1 passage du Grand Cerf, 75002 (metro Étienne Marcel)
Freya was a bit concerned as I dragged her through the red light district
looking for this shop, but suddenly we turned a corner into a magical arcade
with a glass roof and decked out in fairy lights and all was well. Lil Weasel
occupies two shops opposite each other. One is dedicated to knitting, with
shelves brimming with beautiful yarn. The other focuses on sewing, with a
gorgeous selection of fabrics, trimmings, and indie patterns.








Marché Saint Pierre
(metro Anvers / Barbès-Rochechouart)
The area just South East of the Sacré Coeur is bursting with fabric shops. Many
of them sell “coupons”, pre-cut lengths of fabric, with the length and price
attached to them. There is tons is choice and it’s a great way to pick up a
bargain, although does mean rummaging through piles and piles, which get messy
very quickly!






Sentier area
(metro Sentier)
There are quite a few fabric shops around this area, some selling high end
fabrics at similarly high prices, others for a steal. Be warned that some sell
wholesale only, so it’s worth asking their minimum metrage (is that a word?)
when you go in. Be sure to pop by Maison Sajou while you’re there (47 rue du
Caire), a boutique stocking their own range of beautiful vintage-inspired
haberdashery. And if you’re peckish, I stumbled upon this Kosher cafe where the
very welcoming Harry made me the most delicious sandwich I’ve ever eaten… yum.





Brin de Cousette
2 rue Richard Lenoir, 75011 (metro Charonne)
A lovely shop offering a wide selection of sewing books and indie patterns, as
well as fabric, sewing machine hire and workshops.





Mercerie de Charonne
69 rue de Charonne, 75011 (metro Ledru-Rollin)
A great place to stock up on buttons, ribbons and bias tape in all the colours
of the world.





Malhia Kent
19 avenue Dausmesnil, 75012 (metro Ledru-Rollin)
If you’re after something special, this place is a real find. They produce
fabric for haute couture fashion houses, and sell remnants at bargainous prices.
We got a bit high-pitched in here, swooning over Chanel-style pieces (although
if you’re dry cleaner-averse like I am, you may not end up buying much). Be sure
to check the baskets near the front of the shop for small scraps which they’ll
sell you for under a euro – great for making accessories, or just stroking
lovingly.

A huge thank you to Carmen and Julie for showing us around Paris.

Have you been fabric shopping in Paris? If you know about other places we should
visit, please do share in the comments...

VOTE FOR YOUR FAVOURITES IN THE #SEWINGFRANCOISE CONTEST!





VOTING NOW CLOSED
Oh. My. Goodness. Laura and I have been completely blown away by the dresses you
made for the #SewingFrancoise contest!

There were over 100 entries, from which we have shortlisted 25 that stood out
for us in terms of style and creativity to go to the next stage - the public
vote. We really enjoyed going through the entries, but believe me when I say
that choosing just 25 for the next stage was seriously tough. We've literally
spent three hours umming and ahhing over it because we appreciate the love and
effort that went into all of them and would give all of you a prize if we could.
Go look at them all here! So major props to everyone who made a dress - you are
ALL winners in our eyes :)

In the interest of fairness, since the selection is based on subjective
criteria, we've made the contest a two-stage process.  So now you get to vote
for the winners! Take a look through the shortlisted entries below, and pick
your five favourite dresses in order of preference. Vote for your first, second,
third, fourth and fifth choice in the survey at the bottom of the page (or if
you're on a mobile you may find it easier to open the survey in a new window).
Only one set of responses per person is permitted, and public voting will close
at 6pm GMT on Sunday 21st December 2014. The winners will be announced just
before Christmas.

The most popular entry will win first prize of a brand new Janome DKS100 sewing
machine worth £500 (or, if the winner is outside the UK, an equivalent Janome
sewing machine will be supplied). Nine runners up will each win a £100 fabric
shopping voucher from one of the following - Backstitch, Dragonfly
Fabrics, Elephant in my Handbag, Fabric Godmother, Minerva
Crafts, Monaluna, Plush Addict, Sewbox, The Village Haberdashery. Massive thanks
to Janome and our sponsors for the amaze prizes!
