6 people, 8 people, 2 people, 15 people, 5 people ...
that's how it's been going and that's been quite nice. I figured a free download might be helpful in getting my name known once I start actually selling patterns properly (yup, it's on the to-do list!).
But this morning I opened an email telling me 175 people had downloaded the tutorial in one day. Maybe it's been featured somewhere on their home page or something... but now it's #1 on Craftsy's free sewing patterns.
Er, wow!
I'm completely blown away by this. There are so many brilliant patterns on there (even in the free section) that I can't quite believe this has happened.
If anyone knows what has suddenly made it so popular, please do let me know by leaving a comment. Thanks so much.
OK, am off to do a few excited cartwheels around the garden...
Hmmm...OK, maybe not. It's been raining heavily, you see (nothing to do with my age, you understand).

Wow! Congratulations!
Congratulations! Definitely sounds like it's been featured somewhere or a link has been posted somewhere like Twitter maybe?
Well done hun! Grab yourself a lovely glass of wine to celebrate :)
I'm not surprised at all...that is a great tutorial! I started making my sewing kit the same day I saw it posted on here, and I use it all the time. Congratulations, you deserve it!
Congratulations. Well deserved!
That's awesome, congratulations! I suspect it could be because the Craftsy Facebook page posted about your tutorial? I saw it *there* before I saw it *here* and yes I was one of those 175 downloaders - it's fabulous. Well done :)
Well deserved recognition :-)
Well done, it looks great, I will add it to the five million things I intend to sew by the end of the year! Why is there never enough time?
Well done Wendy x
Wendy congrats! What fun! I learned about Craftsy from Sher's Creative Space. I think it's a great place to get your name and skill around too. Look forward to putting a pattern there. I love your header changes and the way they reflect your name and different creative techniques.
That's wonderful news. Congratulations :) I am sure many people will benefit from your wonderful tutorial. Wishing you well in all that you do. x
Thanks so much to everyone for the kind words. This news came just as I was about to go away on a mini-break! I think Rebekah has hit the nail on the head with the sudden flurry of downloads - it was featured on Craftsy's Facebook page, which has a HUGE following!! Thanks Rebekah for letting me know x
