It’s Mother’s Day—or nearly there—and if you’re like most of us, your heart was in the right place... but time? Not so much. You planned to sew something special, but now you’re running on fumes and staring at fabric with no time to thread the machine.

Here’s a little sewing secret: you can still give a handmade experience without sewing a single seam today.

🎁 Wrap the Pattern: A DIY Gift Kit That Says "I Thought of You"

Here’s how it works:

• Print the pattern from our library (choose the cover page or full file—whatever feels right)

• You can also print the sewing instructions of the file.

• Fold in a lovely fabric (1–2 yards is usually enough)

• Add matching thread, a pack of needles, maybe a little chocolate or a handwritten note

• Wrap it up in tissue or nestle it into a reusable sewing basket or gift box

🔗 Trouble Clicking a Link?
If a link in this email isn’t working, it’s probably not you—it’s your email server being dramatic.

Sometimes email providers (like Yahoo, AOL, or strict work filters) break links like it's their job. 😒

Here’s what to do:

1. 🧩 Copy the link from the email

2. 🌐 Paste it into a brand-new browser tab

3. 🕵️‍♀️ Still stuck? Try opening it in Incognito Mode (aka Secret Agent Browsing)
