Just noticed on their website - Sewdirect have a half price sale 16-18 April and free postage. Now you can get that buffet dress pattern!

 :toast: thanks so much for drawing my attention to this. I just got a couple of patterns I’d been thinking about for ages. It’s such a long time since Sewdirect did this  - and if anyone is interested - my postage on £13.75 was FREE :dance:

Glad you found something @Sewcycle . I managed to find a few too. I was looking at a Cynthia Rowley pattern but then I found a youtube review of the dress in a disastrous red shiny polyester so decided against it.  :laughing:
The good thing is that because it's free postage you can have a double dip tomorrow if you fancy something else.

@Tamnymore Thanks for this - I have placed a “small” order. Typically the one I really wanted was out of stock, so I had to console myself with some others instead.

@Efemera Condolences :'(. I did spot a lovely Burda trousers, top and waistcoat pattern I really fancied but was out of stock. However it was nice to get some Katherine Tilton trousers, Dotty Angel mad wrap-over, and a nice Kwik Sew pattern I’ve thought about to clear up some of my leftover wovens. Anything to cheer myself up a bit at the moment. Actually the eBay pattern buying is getting out of hand :[

I took a bag of patterns to a charity shop this morning, but I am not tempted to start another collection of unused patterns.

Yes that's a nice pattern. You can always tell a good pattern as there are loads of reviews. I cut it out in a viyella type fabric a while back. So if I could just finish I can cut a more summery version.

I wonder how many patterns were bought by TSPers - enough for additional group discount? I resisted this time.

B****Y H***, only just seen this now it's too late. Once upon a time Sew Direct used to send out emails notifying you of sales, why don't they do this anymore?

I got an email from Sewdirect on the afternoon of 16th April though I'd already spotted it in the morning. I wonder if you've dropped off their email list  @sewmuchmore ?

@sewmuchmore  - I used to get emails too - but no more. Good idea @Tamnymore. I’ll renew my email on the list. I did check junk mail just to see but nothing there. @Puzzler I think a group discount would be too much temptation  0_0

When i have tried to sign up for emails it tells me i am already subscribed, doubly annoying is the fact that i subscribe to the mag. I do get 40% off but 50% is better.

@sewmuchmore  Have you changed your email address? Look in junk folder too.

@sewmuchmore it might be worth contacting them to ask if they would honour this offer for you as after all you are a proper subscriber.
