interested in testing my patterns?

Now that the kids are back at school and I have a lot more time for sewing, I was super happy to get back to designing and pattern writing. Oh, what a joy!

I'm almost finished with my newest pattern for a pouch (a little sneak peek above) and I have quite a few designs for both bags and pouches I'm hoping to publish in the next few months. I'd better get cracking :).

With pattern writing, of course, comes the need to have those patterns tested. I was wondering, would any of you, my lovely friends, like to test my future patterns for me? I'm putting together a new, updated database of testers. Here's what it would involve.

I'm looking for willing people who:

- have some experience sewing bags or pouches

- can make a project on deadline (usually 2-3 weeks) and send me at least one clear, well lit picture

- can proof read the instructions and give me feedback on how to make them more user friendly

 

Each pattern tester will receive a final PDF copy of the pattern, one free pattern of choice from my already published patterns, and will have a photo of their project (with links back to their blog, website, or Flickr stream) published on my blog.

 

If you're up for it please send me an email at svetlana.sotak@gmail.com or simply leave a comment below (just make sure I have a way of contacting you).

 

One more thing before I go, if you tested for me before and would like to be put on my new list, please send me an email as well.

 

Thank you everyone. Wishing you all a super lovely weekend.
