Sewing Supplies

posted in a little bit of everything, sewing |

Now that Destination Imagination is over for us for this season, I can finally get back to my sewing! I have several projects that sort of got left in the middle of being worked on and am anxious to get back to them.

While I haven’t been sewing over the past few weeks (except for embroidering the team shirts), I haven’t stopped thinking of ideas to promote my sewing business. A few weeks ago I ordered business cards and return address labels from Vistaprint.com. I am very pleased with what I got. I was able to design the business cards myself and I found a template on their website that was spools of thread, perfect for sewing! The cards and labels were delivered in less than a week, very quick service.

While I was ordering the business cards, I saw that they also offer refrigerator magnets which I could have made with the same design as my business cards. If I wanted something larger, the magnets come in different sizes and, no matter what the size, they make an excellent marketing tool. Right now I can get 25 small magnets free simply by using coupon code “Blog25FreeMag”.

I think what I like the most about VistaPrint.com is that I’m able to customize my own design and the speedy service. Feel free to use the coupon code to order your own magnets!

I heard that Vistaprint was great. I tried using them last year but I had lots of problems uploading my image. I had to use Overnightprints and was quite pleased. But soon I’m planning to change my business cards and I’m sure I will try vistaprints. Thanks for the reminder.

Ellen - I didn’t upload any images, maybe that’s why I didn’t have any problems. They had a few sewing theme designs available and I used one of those.

So you had a birthday on the 10th!!! Happy Birthdy to You!!!!I found out by reading your sister Karen’s blog. I didn’t know you’ll were sisters until tonight. I’ve been reading her blog off and on way before I found yours. Isn’t it interesting how everyone can end up connecting in some way.

Ellen - Yes, I quietly had another birthday! My daughter’s birthday is the week before mine, so I put my energy into her celebration, I like it better that way.

My sister Karen has been blogging much longer than me, she is the one who pulled me into the world of blogging! At last count, I think she has 5 blogs, I only have 2.
