I love this! I clicked on your Buy Me a Coffee site, and the only thing I was allowed to see was a follow button. I clicked on this and put in my email, but nothing happened. What am I doing wrong? I want this zine and the one on hand-sewing too!

Oh gosh, I'm not sure! Try this link, it should take you directly to my 'Shop' where the two versions of the zine are available: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/worthdrygoods/extras

Nothing to see but the page that says shop. Nothing to click. There's a button asking for my email, but it doesn't recognize my email as a valid email address (and it is gmail). Is there another way?

It's lovely to hear about your first zine. What a great idea to give out a little manual about mending! Ever since I heard about zines I have been wanting to make one. I have been dillydallying with what to make. I decided a few days ago to go ahead with an essay from my newsletter. I am hoping to meet a lot of crafters in person in an event soon. I hope to be handing them a copy of my zine. I haven't researched fully yet but very excited about the idea. :) Your post comes as the much needed inspiration for me. Thank you!

Wow, what perfect timing! I had so much fun putting this zine together and I hope you will with yours, too. If it helps, I created my zine in Canva and used ZineArranger (Google to find the website) to put my zine in a printable format.

That helps a lot! I use Canva for my pattern layouts. I will check out Zine arranger. Thank you Kelsey.

jumping into this conversation MONTHS late to say a) I'm excited to buy this zine when I get home from work today and b) I love love LOVE using Spectrolite to arrange/print zines - it's made by one of the founders of the All Well pattern workshop and is incredibly intuitive to use and feels very thoughtful and joyful (and is free! as long as you have a mac). Zine arranger is good too though
