Hello Sewing Mamas!
I am looking for a small number of pattern testers. I am a sewing pattern designer (you can see one of my patterns here on Sew Mama Sew
http://www.sewmamasew.com/ccp0-prodshow/PTSFBBB.html ) and I make things for babies and moms (toys, bags, accessories, etc). The testers I was using before are now too busy to help me anymore.
Basically, I need someone who has basic sewing skills, can use a sewing machine and has enough sewing skills to be able to sew something like a purse from a pattern. If you have ever made an Amy Butler or a Lazy Girl bag, or something like that, then you are at the right skill level!
If you don't use patterns, then I bow to your awesomeness, but I really need people who actually use patterns so they can give feedback on the directions, the diagrams, etc. and I need people who have seen lots of patterns from various designers so they have something to compare mine too.
In terms of compensation, I can offer a free copy of the finished pattern and a link to you or your website or ETSY shop from my website - and of course my infinite praise and Thank You's!
Also, unlike many pattern designers, I offer limited free licenses so basically you can make stuff from my patterns and sell it (in non-huge quantities). So, in a nutshell, get a free pattern, get some free PR, make some stuff and sell it (if you want to).
THANKS (in advance) to anyone who can help. I look forward to hearing from you. You can email me at jen[at]izzykat.com or see my website at
www.sewfun.com.
P.S. You supply your own fabric & supplies, you keep whatever you make and you have to email me about your experiences/opinion about the pattern and I have some specific questions that I want answered which I'll send you later.
Thanks for reading.
Sincerely,
Jen Lopez
