Project Update: 📅 Survey Extension + Lowering Unlock Goals for Paisley & Scraps ❗️
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!!

Since folks on stretch pay don't have their surveys yet, they cannot add Scraps or Paisley to their orders. Also, it seems a bit odd for a plush campaign to close surveys and the preorder store while the majority of the plush have yet to be prototyped. Have you given any thought to allowing the preorder store to stay open, at least through prototyping Zippie, Twill, Lakko, Woolly, and Ruffles? This might allow the folks on stretch pay a chance to add Scraps or Paisley, and let most people see what the finished product will look like before making their final selections.
Project Update: ✨ Woolly and Ruffles Pin & Patch Reveal! ✨
Wow I was so focused on getting the surveys out to you guys that I totally forgot I've been waiting for the survey update to finally reveal Woolly and Ruffles' enamel pin / patch design! Well, now they get their own update just for that!
Those of you who have filled out their surveys already probably already saw the designs, but here they are!
For those who missed the BackerKit campaign, the preorder store will be open for the next 10 days!

Project Update: BackerKit Survey Instructions! Survey Deadline Mar 20th!
NOTE: if you are had selected the payment plan option for the campaign, you will not receive your survey until AFTER the last payment has been submitted, per BackerKit policy.
Samples for the new designs are currently underway, unfortunately, I don't think I will be able to have them ready by March 20th. To not delay production by delaying surveys, I'll however be updating everyone as soon as I have samples or photos to show and you're free to reach out to me to edit your plushie choice after seeing the updates!
♡ BackerKit Surveys - Mar 20th Deadline ♡
Once you click "Get Started!" and you've answered the first question regarding backer responsibilities, you will be given the option to select the design of the plush/rewards you'd like to receive.
If you used BackerKit's add-on feature during the campaign to add on more items, you will be able to select the design for each add-on on the next page.
You'll then be taken to the Add-Ons page where you can see what's in your cart so far and add on more items not included in your original pledge if you wish. Here is where you can also help unlock Paisley the Patchwork Pig and Scraps the Patchwork Raccoon! Both have a minimum goal order of 60 plushies before they can be unlocked!
Freebie items, like the cross-collab freebie enamel pin and freebie sticker for early bird backers, will be automatically added to your items list!
Note: You may see a positive value in the Balance bar even if you did not choose to buy any more items. Please note this is because the Balance factors in the unpaid shipping fee!
♡ Shipping and Address ♡
On the next page, you will be able to fill out your address. You will be able to change your address all the way up until I've received the products in hand and are ready to ship them out. I'll have another update to notify everyone ahead of time before I close address changes so do not worry if you are planning a move!
♡ Payment Charges ♡
On the last page, you will be able to input your card info/use PayPal to pay for shipping and any additional add-on items you may have included that were not covered by your initial pledge. Payment charges for cards are currently scheduled to be made on Mar 20th so please expect your card to be charged on this day!
♡ That's All! ♡
Excited to show you guys the finished pin/patch designs for Woolly and Ruffles when I make the update post for the survey hehe~
Thank you everyone for your patience! Also, preorder store is now open as well: https://patchwork-pals.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
Best,
