I wrote up an article on the topic of building a small crafting business further, and included it over on my Patreon. It features a collection of tips which may hopefully help for anyone who may be looking for a direction to improve their online presence and help a small creator know what may help to better get a small crafting business off the ground.

Here is a tribute I wrote and illustrated about my doggy Turbo, who we recently lost at the beginning of this month.

I spent some time updating all of the platforms in which I sell my sewing patterns and premium tutorials! This includes
my gumroad https://matrices.gumroad.com/
and my etsy shop https://matrices.etsy.com/
and my patreon shop https://www.patreon.com/Matrices/shop
the listings all got a fresh preview image, a unified look to them all so people could recognize my work if they are purchasing more than one in the collection, and I included the green bg from my website with the product crop in the middle. I may adjust this again in the future, but testing it out for now.
