Please note: some features in the above photos were photoshopped to better resemble the final product as the current samples still need minor tweaks, but we didn't want to delay this update. Small details may change from the above photos to the final product!

This means that I will be locking surveys in two weeks time on June 15th! All backers will have two weeks to lock in on their Pal choices for their plushies/pins/etc! Once surveys close, you will no longer be able to make any changes to the rewards you choose! If you'd like to add on additional Pals to your existing order, you can also do so during this time~

📝 To access your surveys again, you can look for the original Patchwork Pals survey link sent to you via email, or recover your survey by going here: https://patchwork-pals.backerkit.com/ and entering your email address.

If you have any other concerns, please don't hesitate to email me (with your backer name and email) at [email protected] (please allow ~3 business days for response, thank you kindly!)

Hi everyone!

I wanted to make a quick update for the month of April to let you know where we're at with the new samples! I just had a two hour long meeting with my manufacturer and we finalized fabric colors, patch patterns, and embroidery blueprints! This means they'll be putting into production the final version of the samples and I should be able to show you all photos soon, woohoo!

Thank you all so much for your patience, plush sampling is always a long and tedious process, but I don't want to rush it to ensure we can produce the cutest, and closest-to-our-design sample as we can!

As stated in the previous update, surveys remain open for you to access and update your reward choices! They won't close until I have the photos of the new samples to show everyone and give everyone time to make changes if needed.

Also, I'm sure some if not all of you have heard about all the recent tariff news and the impacts it will have on small business owners like myself. I just want to reassure everyone that I will not be passing on any additional tariff charges to you guys and will be covering all of it myself, even if out of my own pocket if needed. I understand with the current economy, it's a difficult time for everyone and it just would not be fair for me to make my customers shoulder these extra charges for something that you and I cannot control! The only thing I would like to ask is some extra patience and leniency with the fulfilment date, as me and my shipping team figure out the best way to ship our stock here over the new few months!

I'll be back with another update once I have the sample photos, which I estimate won't be long! As always, if you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to email me at [email protected]!

See y'all in the next update~

Hi everyone!

Thank you all for filling out your surveys in such a timely manner! We've already reached 85% completion on the surveys! I will be extending the survey deadline for the last 15% of folks who have yet to fill their surveys, and also for everyone to have time to see this update as I have a few things to announce:

First is, I've lowered the goals for Paisley and Scraps so that both are now unlocked! In the end, I didn't want to disappoint the dedicated backers that Paisley and Scraps have won the hearts of and will be self-funding the difference to bring them to life. However, since Paisley and Scraps are late unlocks, they will NOT have keychain / enamel pin / patch designs. My apologies but this is final! They will still have their matching free ID cards~

Next, I hear everyone's requests to see sample photos of the new plush designs before locking in their choices! I totally get it, with items like plushies, I want to see the final samples too before making my choice. Therefore, the surveys will remain open and editable until I have the photos of the new samples to show everyone.

Finally, I'm currently working on the samples! We've already gotten the shapes down for our new Pals, the next step is to match the right fabric colors, then we test the embroidery and patches and finalize details like ribbon, button, etc. I hope to have photos to show everyone by early April!!

Thank you guys for getting through this text-heavy update and for your patience and support throughout the past few weeks! If you have any other concerns, or want to make adjustments to your pledge based on any of the recent updates/changes, please don't hesitate to email me (with your name and email) at [email protected] (please allow ~3 business days for response, thank you kindly!)
