From the start lots of you have made it clear to us that you'd really like us to do something about our shipping prices - and we hear you! We know it's a common pet peeve of internet shopping and have been working at getting our prices down. Wellllll, if you live outside of the UK or EU we have some good news for you: we've managed to reduce shipping by about 15% - hurrah! 

To all of our esteemed UK and EU customers, we haven't intentionally left you out. The problem is that we are obliged to charge you VAT (which is included in the shipping price) and which therefore counteracts the discount we managed to get from our shipping providers. Are you still there?? No offence taken if not, we too have a tendency to nod off at the mere mention of tax...  We just wanted to mention it so that you knew why we can't reduce your shipping rates right now. However, we are still on the case and hope to have good news for you in the near future! 

If you're still struggling with the shipping rates, why not have a look through our lovely stockists and see if our patterns are available somewhere more local to you. 

In the meantime, how about we all have a think about what a wonderful place the world would be if your internet orders were delivered by a kitten and a puppy in a hot air balloon....
