Have you ever pattern tested for a company before? Do you like it? Is it something you do often? All these questions as I test a pattern this week -- it's for a company I haven't used before, and I'm finding it interesting. I've done some tests before, but I don't sign up too often, as my own sewing queue is often too long to fit in these more complex projects. They take longer since you are working on following the instructions to the letter and noting down anything you want to share with the pattern maker. And also going over the instructions with a fine toothed comb to be sure you catch anything that needs updating.
So I don't add these into my routine too often, but I saw a call on Instagram and the pattern details appealed to me. I grabbed some thrifted rayon and am working on my test now, which has to be done this week so I'd better hurry up ;)
I'm enjoying it but I am falling behind in my summer sewing queue! I have to remember that next time I see a tempting tester call.
What's your experience of testing been?
