Pattern Testing

For publishing a new pattern, I need your help! I am always looking for a variety of skill levels and for different tasks. When testing opportunities are available, this page will be updated. PS: I will also always make an announcement via newsletter and sometimes via Instagram. So make sure you are signed up and follow me ;)

Before applying, please read through the details below to make sure you understand what you are signing up for! If you have a question, send me an email.

[CLOSED – IN TESTING] Spikes & Diamonds

My next pattern Spikes & Diamonds is finally ready for testing. Woohoo! It is a column-based design with a fairly simple FPP block. The pattern includes three layout options “Spikes”, “Half-Diamonds”, and “Full-Diamonds”. Below you can see a greyscale representation of each concept. I need a tester for each. You can of course pick your colors/fabrics.

In “Spikes” each column will be sewn with (up-to) three different fabrics. There needs to be a difference between the background fabric and the triangles. You can e.g. use a gradient design.

In “Half-Diamonds” and “Full-Diamonds” you might also want to think in columns but you do not need to work with just three fabrics – as in the greyscale representation. You could choose a different color/fabric for each strand. You could also keep all spikes or all diamonds in one color. What you do need to do, is to keep the spikey strand and every single diamond in one fabric/color but otherwise, you are free with your fabric and color distribution. The pattern will include a lookbook with some ideas that will help with visualization.

“Spikes”
“Half-Diamonds”
“Full-Diamonds”

The deadline is the 30th of November 2022.

Technical Editor

Since English is my second language, I am looking for a native speaker with a knack for writing easy instructions as well as strong spelling and grammar skills. Your responsibilities include:

  • Thoroughly combing through the completed pattern for typos, wording issues, readability, and layout suggestions. (American English)
  • Checking the math e.g. for yardage requirements or for cutting and piecing aspects. (where applicable)
