Regency, Romantic and Victorian

If you plan on having a total of at least 3 patterns in your order today then use the 3+ option. For those of you that might have ordered patterns from me in the past, I have changed the cover artwork but not the title of the patterns so go by that to make sure you do not order a pattern you already have in your collection. Shipping: please note that the shipping charges that show up are usually spot on for small orders but, if you are ordering many it might calculate too much. Please note that I will refund excess shipping fees.

International orders: My paypal card does not calculate the cost all that well, I might have to refund some monies. If you want closer pricing you can e-mail me and I can pre-calculate the cost and invoice you.
