We are delighted that you are considering becoming a part of our valued bag-pattern testing family.
Hello there!
We have some exciting projects in development here at ANIMA-arte designs and we are looking to expand our pattern-testing pool. Interested in testing patterns for us?
We are looking for anyone from confident-beginner, intermediate to advanced skilled sewists. You should be familiar with using sewing patterns and feel comfortable executing basic skills. You must be interested in sewing constructions, comfortable following directions and able to articulate where clarity or corrections are needed to improve instructions and construction order. Being able to take multiple well-lit photos of your finished bags from a variety of angles is mandatory. Furthermore, you should be willing to share and promote our patterns as pattern promotion is a huge deal for designs. While this is not required, it is of huge help for us!
After confirming participation on a project, we send you a PDF pattern in print-at-home format, as well as the instructions before you start. We then give you 2-3 weeks to assemble supplies and make the finished bag, depending on complexity of the project. Once your bag is finished, you must submit well-lit photos of the finished bag. We send you a survey to fill out with questions ranging from pattern fit & construction to quality of instructions. Your testing feedback is used to refine the pattern and instructions as needed. Occasionally we share tester’s bag photos after launch so you should be willing to let us use your photos on our website, social media and promotions (always with full credit of course!).
