In a StudioKat's Day!

So…

ever since we posted pictures of this striped Cosmo sample, (which turned out to be our “cover girl”), we’ve been receiving a LOT of questions concerning the way we pieced together the Flap as well as the optional Flap Trim.
For the most part, folks have been wondering if we’re going to be including the little pieces for this Flap treatment in the pattern pack for the Cosmo Convertible, or if we’ll be sharing them on our website where they can be downloaded by those that are interested in duplicating this look.

And here’s our answer!

Our policy concerning our pieced embellishing techniques has always been to NOT include the pieces in the standard pattern package.

Our Reasoning?

It’s two-fold actually;

most of our end-users are not interested in applying this treatment to their bag.
the extra pattern sheet(s) and instructions ultimately add to the final cost of the pattern itself.

And since I’d rather not have to increase the pattern cost for everyone, we instead post the pattern pieces on our website as a free download. So… if you think you might be interested in reproducing a similar look on YOUR Cosmo, you can either use these links to download the necessary pieces and layout now…

Or you can wait until you actually need the pattern pieces and then you can click on the links we’ll be providing for you on the Cosmo Convertible webpage. Your choice!

And now… it’s YOUR turn!

Which would be YOUR preference?
Get the extra pattern pieces in the original pattern pack, even if it mean an increase in cost?
Or to get extras like this by download to keep the base price of the pattern as low as possible?
And remember, we actually LOVE comments so if you’d like to share yours, please do so in the space provided below and stay tuned for our next post in this series because we’re getting oh-so close to the release!AND- I’m still in Italy soaking up the ambience (and the gelato… and the wine…and the food…etc etc etc) so please be patient if I don’t respond as quickly as usual? We’re coming home tomorrow and things will get back to normal!
