    Where are the patterns please?

    I'm a premium member and don't see any patterns as was presented on FB. Now it seems you've had "technical difficulty" since Dec 23, 2020. Now one would think that is more than plenty of time to fix the problem. Just like the question I asked about users that bought classes when the site was still "Craftsy" and "BluPrint". Yet NOBODY has answered that question to not only me but also the other users who have asked that question when you people took this over. People have asked about when you're gonna sell kits, at this point I doubt if you'd be able to apply the stamp. I expect an answer because I'm sure other users who have bought classes and myself would hate to let their membership expire over something like this. Thank you and have a nice day.

    why did i get a premium membership if there are no patterns attached to the items I want to make on your site?

    Hi still no patterns on this one?

  5. Lisa Demeter

    This is the second article with patterns that I was interested in but the patterns are not included. What is the point in putting the article online if the patterns aren't attached. Just as with the other article that didn't have the patterns when I look through the discussions there is a note from Craftsy customer service stating they are putting things online all the time and the patterns should be included shortly, however that discussion was months ago and the patterns still aren't here.

    How do you find the links for these tutorials? I am interested in the bow tie and bed.

  7. Leona Roberts

    I am also disappointed because there still are not links for these dog accessories.

    Link for #1 did not work.

    I am looking for the dog bandana pattern. It does not appear to be available. From other comments, it is apparent that your company has been aware of this issue since October. Perhaps, it would be more logical for Craftsy not to promote "free patterns" until they actually have "free patterns" available?

    I cant find the pattern for the Sammy Bag dos sling, the one with the photo of the Yorky in it
