Patreon Update

Happy New Year all! I can hardly believe I've been running this page for two whole years! As we embark on year three, I wanted to take a moment to thank you all so much for coming along with me on this journey, and update you on some of my plans for 2024.

Content survey

I have exciting plans for this year's pattern releases, but I'm also keen to get your feedback on why you're here and what you might hope to see from Tuppence Ha'penny in 2024 and beyond. I'd love it if you could complete this survey so I can continue making the patron experience the best it can be!

Tier options update

The three tier options will broadly remain the same as 2023: Library Lover (access to the magazine catalogue); Enthusiast (magazines plus monthly sewing pattern); and Aficionado (all the above, plus exclusive bonus projects).

The main change I'm planning for this year will be to formalise bonus projects as an official benefit at Aficionado tier. While the schedule for releasing bonus projects will remain slightly ad hoc as in the past, I'm aiming for 6-8 bonus projects per year, exclusive to Aficionado patrons. Bonus projects will include pattern expansions for new and past patterns; appliqué projects; and accessories.

I will continue to release occasional bonus projects to Enthusiast patrons, and you will not lose access to any projects previously released to Enthusiast tier.

I'm also making a slight adjustment to the pattern release schedule.  While I will still release 12 patterns per year (plus bonus patterns) , the release schedule may not keep strictly to calendar-monthly - so there may be no new pattern one month, then two the following month. I decided to do it this way to remove some stress from my side, and because I would rather release a better quality pattern than rush to publish on a strict schedule.
