Woohoo!! We are doing the OLENE sewing pattern next, and I'm so grateful that you are willing to help me make it a good one! I've had over 100 people sign up to be a pattern tester and now I need to narrow it down to just 1-2 people in each size range. Rest assured that if you aren't chosen this time around, you will still be considered next time!
Chosen pattern testers will be expected to use the first draft of my sewing pattern and instructions to sew the garment in their size and design variation choice, then provide me with written feedback on the pattern and instructions, and take a quality photo (well-lit, not pixelated) of themselves wearing the final garment.
If I sent the pattern to you by October 1st, can you realistically complete the garment, document detailed written feedback on the pattern, and take quality photos of your garment by October 14th?
This is not set in stone-- it's okay if you end up sewing a different variation!
Again, not set in stone-- it's okay if you end up sewing a different variation!
While beginner sewists are 100% welcome to pattern test, I mostly just want to make sure that you know how to take a photo of yourself (or have someone in your life who can take a photo of you), with the photo quality of at least a modern cell phone. Hint: natural lighting, outdoors, on a somewhat cloudy day OR indoors near a window tends to give the best lighting results. Feel free to upload a photo or link to a social media photo or account.
Note: if you choose not to include a photo, you are significantly decreasing your odds of being chosen this time around.
The photo you upload here is solely for my use and will not be shared in any public forum.
