Title: What to do with 30USD?
Post by: Roger on December 26, 2017, 13:05:44 PM

Hi All,

Here’s the challenge... I won a prepaid credit card for 30USD. Only living in the UK, USDs are not day to day useful.

Any ideas of what I should spend it on?

I thought about maybe Sew Classic, or craftsy? But I thought you guys might have some better ideas. My idea to use it on a Clam Shell (Jetsons) buttonholer also failed.

It’s a nice problem to have :)

Craftsy class sounds like a good idea.. or some sort of pdf patterns that way you don't have to waste your money on p&p I can't recommend any as I've never bought one .... 0_0

Would a subscription to Threads Insider be of interest to you? You wouldn’t have quite enough for a full year, but would be able to get several months with $30.

Well I would use it on the Vogue/Butterick/McCall US site for patterns when they had a sale (being careful not to order more than £15 worth of patterns because of customs charges) but I don't know if such things are of interest.

I buy a lot of stuff online that requires payment in USD. Maybe try spending it on Etsy.

Thank you for the ideas!

I’m not much of a pattern user. I haven’t heard of the magazine, I’ll give the sample a go:)

I’d forgotten about Etsy, it’s good for belly dance ornaments,

I thought about the craftsy unlimited for a couple of months, but I just don’t get the time to really get stuck into it.
