Can you believe it’s been two years since I launched the first FehrTrade activewear patterns back in December 2013?? In those two years I’ve managed to release 10 different activewear patterns (with more on the way!), and I thought it was high time we all celebrate!
I’ve got a bunch of great stuff planned for the entire month of December, but I wanted to kick things off by announcing a special 2nd birthday sale to send a big THANK YOU to all my loyal readers! So for the entire month of December you can save 20% off all purchases at shop.fehrtrade.com by using the code “2NDBIRTHDAY” (Paypal users note that you’ll go quite far through the process before the coupon box is shown).
I also wanted to take this opportunity to flag up that I quietly released an update to the PB Jam Leggings pattern recently! I’m going back through my earliest patterns and upgrading the illustrations to be more in line with the most recent ones. My illustration skills have come so far in the past two years and I wanted to give people who purchase my earlier patterns the same experience as those who grab my latest ones.
Here you can see the difference!
“Before” on the left, and “Now” on the right!
If you’ve purchased the PB Jam Leggings pattern from my shop, you can download the update yourself, or if you purchased it from Etsy, Pattern Review, or Kollabora, drop me an email with your transaction details and I’ll send you the updated instructions. If you bought via my shop, you should be able to use the download link in your original order email and get the new files (which contain “v3” in the filename). Let me know if you’d like me to resend the download link to you. Note that the pattern itself is exactly the same – it’s just the illustrations in the instructions that have been changed.
The XYT Workout Top and Duathlon Shorts are also in the process of being updated, but more on those soon!
And if you think two years is a long time for my pattern company to be going… well, 2016 marks ten years of FehrTrade.com!! The site’s getting a little facelift to be more mobile-friendly, so if things look weird over the next week or so, it’s because it’s all in progress…
Happy shopping!
