Flodesk Review: Why it is the Best Tool for my Creative Business

March 4, 2025 By A Spoonful of Sugar - Leave a Comment

I first started A Spoonful of Sugar Blog back in 2008. Since then it has grown into a thriving business, A Spoonful of Sugar Designs with a Pattern Store and an Etsy Store (in the top 2% of Etsy businesses). I never set out to be a small business owner and I have learnt a few things along the way. The most important tool you can have as a small business owner is an email list so you can reach your customers without relying on other platforms and ever changing algorithms. I have used a few different email marketing providers over the years and Flodesk is hands down the best. I have now been with Flodesk since 2021. Here is my honest review of Flodesk. Whether you have a creative business or another type of ecommerce store, you want Flodesk on your side.

Sharing a closer look at the Handy Drawstring Pouc Sharing a closer look at the Handy Drawstring Pouch today — a sweet little project that’s as practical as it is pretty. I stitched this one in the blue and gold colourway of the Tilda Songbird collection and love how the soft watercolour florals shine in a small make. The pouch features cleverly shaped panels (with no boxed corners), stands tall when in use, and folds completely flat for storage. It’s also reversible, which makes it such a fun and versatile sew.   These little pouches are perfect for organising your sewing room, gifting to a friend, or popping into a project bag.The pattern includes three sizes, and you can find it in both my Pattern Store and Etsy shop. Comment HANDY and I’ll send the link straight to your inbox.A big thank you to @tilda_australia for gifting the beautiful fabric.#tildasongbird #drawstringbagpattern #aspoonfulofsugardesigns #tildafabrics #sewingproject
