Creating your own sewing pattern<\/a> is a dream for many hobby sewists.\u00a0 <\/span>Maybe you’ve already designed a garment and tested it on yourself. You might even thought about making your pattern available to other hobby sewers and selling it? At this point, you’re probably wondering how to digitize and grade your own sewing pattern.<\/p>\n

Do these thoughts sound familiar? Then be sure to read this post with my tips and experiences on creating, grading and selling sewing patterns.<\/p>\n

Designing a sewing pattern – that’s how I started:<\/h2>\n

A few years ago, I faced the same problem. I have been sewing for many, many years and at some point started designing my own garments. It wasn’t until my job at Makerist<\/a> that I learned to turn my hobby into a business. I am extremely grateful for this and would like to pass this knowledge on to you.<\/p>\n

In these and other posts, you will learn step by step how to turn your idea into action. I’ll\u00a0 explain how you can build your own creative business with the “freelance platform Fiverr<\/a>” and make your first sales with your self-designed sewing patterns.<\/p>\n

The topic is very complex, so I’m going to split up my tips and experiences on creating and selling patterns a bit and share them in several blog posts<\/a>:<\/p>\n

  1. The Basics: how do I create a sewing pattern?\u00a0 <\/span>From the garment to the flat 2D pattern.<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Materials and costs for creating your own pattern and starting a pattern label incl. specific examples and calculations.<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. How to sell your own sewing patterns profitably: helpful tips for your start as a sewing pattern label<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    I hope I can clear up any questions about designing and selling patterns and starting a pattern label in the following posts. So, let’s get right into some basics.<\/p>\n
