The Fashion Sewing Group  It's about the clothes.

Marfy has now gone to an annual catalogue instead of two each year. The 2010 catalogue was just $36.00 plus postage (nearly a $12.00-20.00 savings on ordering directly from Italy) and is nearly twice the size including styles for spring/summer and fall/winter that are always fashion forward. I've already sold out of my reserved and extra catalogues but you can still obtain one from me that will be sent directly from Italy. The cost is considerably more, depending on the euro conversion when you order, between US$52.00 and 58.00. If you'd like to receive one from me next year, make your reservation beginning around January 2, 2011 and delivered mid to late February. Marfy patterns are known for their exceptional fit and used by advanced seamstresses around the world.

The periodic Postage Amnesty Days have become extremely popular. A number of orders are combined, ordered from Italy and then sent to you. For US customers, postage is $1.75 for up to ten patterns, and eleven patterns up to 15 or 16, then I’ll use a cardboard postage flat rate envelope that is $4.90.

You'll save enough postage to buy at least one more pattern compared to any other resource. Since I combine orders, there is a considerable savings on postage from Italy. Pattern prices are converted from the Euro at current rates at the time they are charged to you and shipped. Amnesty Days for 2010 are scheduled for March 15, April 30, July 30 and September 28. You'll need to provide me with your payment information at least one week prior to the scheduled dates if you are a new customer. You can print out the general order form and snail mail me the appropriate information if you like..

I introduced Marfy patterns to my newsletter subscribers first in 2001 after a group visit to Italy where we met with the owners of the company in Milan. It was a wonderful introduction and that's why I seem to receive more email inquiries about the pattern company than any other US resource. Most fashion sewing enthusiasts had never heard of Marfy until I introduced them in my newsletter to subscribers.

You can order through my email address: sewfashion@aol.com. If you want to use visa or mastercard for your order, you need to snail mail it to our office at Erickson Group, 613 Hickory Grove Ct., Dunlap, IL 61525.
