Sometimes I think that gives people the feeling that you should share everything, for free. <br /> I definitely agree about the time involved in making a (nearly) foolproof pattern. The trial and error, wasted time and materials, lead us to not only know what we can and probably should do, but what we shouldn't do. Our mistakes teach us so much!Field of Dolls Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04220660429940170655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017729781161615945.post-23263711755118071942020-04-16T13:54:46.601-07:002020-04-16T13:54:46.601-07:00THIS. So much this!!
I frequently get requests fo...THIS. So much this!!<br /><br />I frequently get requests for free tack patterns (mostly blankets) or step by step tutorials. There's never any harm in asking, but my answer is always no. I do mention that I'm willing to help with any problems they may be having/materials to use/etc etc and that's usually met with silence. Or if I do end up explaining something some don't even bother to say thank you?<br /><br />I've tried making doll clothing. It's HARD. I have so much respect for doll makers because of it. Pattern making in general is HARD. It's frustrating and time consuming but I strongly feel that in order to make tack, doll clothes, etc, you NEED to learn how to do it.<br /><br />I do like sharing free tutorials/patterns/printables for little props and things to fit in barn scenes, and I hope others enjoy them too. But more complex pieces, like blankets, have so much more involved (as well as developed skill and years of practice) and are not something I want to share for free. I think people don't realize just how much time it takes to create a pattern, let alone a high quality and (hopefully!) fail proof tutorial to go with it. <br /><br />This comment is longer than I intended, haha. But this is something that's been bothering me for a while so it's nice to see that it bothers other creators too! It makes me feel better about saying "no" and that it's ok for me to not feel like I need to share everything.Nichellehttps://desktopstables.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017729781161615945.post-50295095310218871382020-04-16T08:51:26.867-07:002020-04-16T08:51:26.867-07:00Bingo.Bingo.timaru star iihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13386974641076054743noreply@blogger.com
