The Wrist-a-Kat - A FREE pattern giveaway

You probably don't know this, but in just a few short weeks, we'll be celebrating the start of our 8th year in business as an independent pattern designer, due in large part to the fact that we have without doubt, the best and most loyal customers in the world.

So... to thank you for your support,
we have prepared a very special free pattern giveaway for you.

The outer velcro pockets of this Wrist-a-Kat are embellished with a corded trim.
The Wrist-a-Kat
This pattern has been included as a bonus with the AbracaNiche, and for years, folks have been begging us to make it available as a stand-alone pattern, but until now, we really haven't felt compelled to do so.
But today, we're making this little pattern available to all of our Newsletter readers (which numbers over 17,500), our Facebook followers (numbering almost 1000) and our Blog subscribers (which total over 2500). We are NOT uploading this pattern to the Free Pattern page of our website just yet, and until such time as we do, access to this pattern will be limited to only those who read this Blog or subscribe to our Newsletter.

Ruffles frame the outer velcro pockets of this little Wrist-a-Kat.
The logic behind carrying this little wristlet, is the freedom of going handsfree. I don't know about you, but I HATE dragging my full-size bag into ballgames, movie theatres, and dressing rooms. So I keep a little wristlet like this in my bag & when I go into the mall for example, I just put my cash into the zippered section, and load up the 2 outer velcro pockets with a debit/credit card, an ID and a lipstick and then I can shop completely handsfree, without worrying about setting my purse down in a dressing room and leaving it behind.
And here's the best part- The Wrist-a-Kat can be made up with basically just scraps. You'll need one small zipper and a way to attach your wrist strap to your zipper. We used metal chain hooks for these samples and just in case you have trouble finding these or a substitute, we carry them on this page, in 4 colors. I think these little bags would make great little stocking stuffers, and teacher's gifts, don't you?

So..... are you ready to get started? 
Just use the links below to download the components 
(Remember: you will need to download ALL FOUR pages.)
And thanks again for supporting StudioKat Designs. 
We hope you'll continue to do so for many years to come!

  24. Congratulations on eight successful years ~ what a wonderful feeling that must be! You said it is only possible because of your loyal customers ~ we would all say, I'm sure, it's because of your marvelous, unique patterns! Keep up the good work.
    Thanks, too, for the Wrist-a-Kat pattern. I think a few those will be appearing in my Christmas sewing projects. It is so fun and smart and along with a gift card tucked inside will make perfect gifts!

    Best wishes for an even more successful future,

I usualy subscribe to newsletters to see what sells and stuff is going on. But I stay subscribed to your newsletter because I just plain like it. And now I also seem to end up at your blog after reading the newsletter. Both are great. Glad you have made it in the business. It's a hard one, and very competitive.
    Good Luck for the future.
