Sew Direct flash sale
« on: February 15, 2019, 17:33:21 PM »
Don't know if anyone has posted details elsewhere but the Sew Direct website is doing a half price sale across all pattern brands until Sunday with free postage on orders over £10. The website is grinding along VERY slowly and I got a number of errors. I also can't persuade it to go through to Paypal - just got an error code- so had to use sagepay. It's a good time to stock up if you have been waiting for a sale.

I find the new website unusable but I suppose it might be worth researching patterns elsewhere and then seeing if sewdirect has them in the sale

It's struggling at the moment @sewingj with all the extra traffic. But all the brands are half price so it's worth persevering!

How b***** annoying. I have only just seen this and of course missed the deadline. BUT what is the point of signing up for email alerts when they don't bother to send you any. And I have sent them an "annoyed" email although not expecting a reply.

That's a shame @sewmuchmore . I do hope they respond positively.

They have responded, very apologetic. They acknowledge I am on the mailing list but have never been sent anything. They have asked me to email my order and they will honour the 50% off, so good news all round.

Despite being on their list for newsletters, I never actually got any. A couple of weeks ago I cancelled my subscription - and I have had two newsletters since!

Must be trying to lure you back, the same thing happened to me, nothing until this offer (after I'd cancelled the subscription in December.  I said I wouldn't buy from them again but 50% off and free postage was too good to miss.  I  had already marked two in my little note book ready to purchase so didn't need to do any looking.

I suppose I need to have a clear out of the patterns I've not used and may never use, that would make some room in the pattern drawer.
