Hey y’all! I got some comments on my “what to make next” post, and it got me thinking. Do you want me to make a post explaining some of how I do pattern designing for sewing? And if so, do you want me to use the round elephant pattern as the example, or should I make a new pattern so I can show you from start to finish how it goes?

#I think I might've posted a little about it before but not much #because I had been feeling a little imposter-sydrome-y #but like after a certain point of plushifying art and making designs exactly the way I imagined them #(if maybe grumpier looking than intended lol)#I am no longer feeling imposterish #my techniques are not the most technologically savvy and if you have more computer art experience than I do #there is almost certainly an easier way to make a digital version of the patterns #but my way only requires three things: paper a pen (preferably a brush-tipped marker) and something to measure 1/4 inch with #also scissors for cutting out pattern pieces #like there are several extras that I use now and again when pattern designing to make doing certain parts easier but it's like #a pipe cleaner. some yarn. I do have a compass but it's super terrible and I think I've had it since I was like five #wait is it a compass? the angle measuring thing #I don't actually use it I just eyeball the angles tbh
