ALL Patterns are printed copies. NONE are original, shiny ones like you buy in the shops because 99% of them cannot be purchased in a shopFOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS THIS DIGITALLY REMASTERED PATTERN PRINTED ( NOT PHOTOCOPIED) ON 80GSM PAPER & SENT UNFOLDEDI do not laminate, or, use plastic pockets or board backed envelopes. If this is a problem, please scroll on by. All patterns are sent in waterproof mailing bags made of recycled material & fully recyclable.With the absolutely disgusting price hike by Royal mail today (up28% on 2nd class large letter) I will be using Evri, or Yodel for every item over 100g which is not signed for.
