    Fully Funded! Now What?

    I'm finally back in the office and ready to give you all a full update. Whew, what a crazy week!  We all worked together and made the final push and got this project fully BACKED!  Seriously, I didn't even really have to promote it and do the constant nagging that people typically have to do during crunch time.  You guys did it all for me!  Some of you tweeted every day and blogged about it and that helped so much.  I think if it wasn't for that, we wouldn't have made it to our goal.  So thank you so much!

    What a relief and I'm excited to move forward with the final details this week in preparing for the fest that's coming up THIS WEEKEND!  Wow, it's that close everyone!  Have you pre-ordered your all-access pass yet?

    Reward Time!

    Now that we're fully backed, I can focus on getting you your rewards. For those of you who will be receiving a t-shirt, I'll be contacting you through Kickstarter to get your t-shirt size.  And if I need any other info for anything, I'll let you know.  I'll post another update once I update the website with all the people who pledged $25 or more.

    Thanks again, and let's get ready for this weekend!

    $330 left with 37 hours to go

    Just a quick update to all my backers.  We've got $330 remaining with only 37 hours left to go. And just a reminder that all $50 backers now get a free copy of my ebook/audiobook Thread's Not Dead: The Designer's Guide to the Apparel Industry.  I start giving out the rewards as soon as we meet our goal.  

    There will be one more update on the progress tomorrow. 

    Let's give this one last final push. Kick in, blog, tweet, post, and promote this link http://kck.st/jkQw7t
