In's and Out's of the New Website

Last year at this time I had begun to build a new website by myself, with no previous experience. It was out of necessity rather than the desire to develop a new skill. It finally went live last September and life has continued to be crazy busy since.

If you're not familiar with our website www.farthingales.on.ca then you might want to visit it to see the selection of corset making supplies and other things we have.  In the top right corner of the home page you'll see a link to our SALE items, these are mostly items that are being discontinued by our supplies and since we can't get more, we're "sale-ing" them. You'll also find end of bolt pieces of coutil there, so it's worth checking out.

Along the top of the webpage are links to products - click on the "Books" one and see the drop down menu that includes second hand books that have come in from local costumers who set the price on the books they no longer need or don't have room for.

Down the left side of the page are links to interesting bits like this blog and our on-line Tips & Tricks section that has several free articles, that I've written over the years. There is also a link to our In-Store Classes which are classes you can take here at our Stratford, Ontario location.  Many are for kids and the adult ones include pattern drafting and costume making. The classroom has tons of natural light and has been awesome to work in.

If you're purchased from the new website you'll have had the opportunity to sign up for our e-newsletter of which we have sent very few but one will be going out in early July with a special Discount Code that can be used on July purchases for product from the site.

Sooo, if you've not yet explored all the "newish" site has to offer check it out now....
