Due to high and consistent enthusiasm for it, I’ve decided to release Plique-a-Jour as a downloadable project PDF.

You’ll find it available here in the shop now.

My plan was to ultimately release the PDF download, but not quite this soon and possibly in a different package. I wanted to stitch a corresponding project that we’ve designed and put both projects together. But it is unlikely I’ll get to the second project any time soon, and it may make more sense to handle them individually, anyway, for those who prefer one but not the other.

Also, realizing that many of you who are outside North America want to work the project, too, I don’t want leave you hanging any longer!

Today, I’ll tell you what you can expect from the PDF, including the advantages of working with a PDF. I’ll also talk about substitutions you can make if you are unsure of finding or affording the original materials. We’ll talk a little bit about sourcing materials. We’ll also discuss the difficulties of substitutions and managing expectations when using substitutes.

Finally, I’ve included a quick personal update at the end of today’s post, so that you will know what’s going on in case I disappear for a wee bit now and then.
