Hey all!

I'm super excited to get this book out to you and kick off all of the usual crowdfunding shenanigans (plus some)... But in the meantime... One of the things I've been doing recently is I totally got sucked into the Dressmaker craze, and I was like, wow, playing this game is just like being Sylvan (but a little more upscale and a lot less medical debt lol).

So, I figured, it could be really fun to issue out a little challenge... We've got a lot of stuff we can make in the context of like, pretending to be Sylvan and serving his customers. You know I've been in here making Inix and Feint aesthetic fashion, absolutely, but I wanted to open it up to you folks! I've got a little challenge for anyone playing Dressmaker... Well, two honestly, if you want to do both.

Here's your customer's briefs:

Don't worry about the size, just design to your heart's content! Since you can't reply here in the comments with an image, I've got posts up on Bluesky (Inix's brief, Feint's brief) you can QRP or reply to if you like! I'll share what you've made in the next update if anyone makes anything. :D

In the meantime... Some things worth knowing! The Book Bazaar authors will be streaming live on launch day starting at 12:30 PM ET on Twitch. You'll see eeeeeeveryone in The Book Bazaar this year having the stream on their pages, though not everyone will be attending... It's just so we're everywhere. ;) If you can make it, we'd love if you can pop in and join us for launch day!

Additionally, if you were having fun interacting with us during TBB Chat on Saturdays or TBB Prompt on Thursdays, apologies, I accidentally got The Book Bazaar bluesky account suspended (I QRPed too many posts at once) 😂😭 I've appealed it, but haven't heard anything for about 3 days now. Sooooo TBB Prompts will be happening in the meanwhile on my account, and TBB Chat will be hosted by each individual author on their own accounts until the TBB account is reinstated. Here's some quick links if you want to follow along and participate in the chat (any author or writer or blorbo maker can participate!!)
