Our Best Posts of 2022

So…

with 2022 practically “in the books”, its time to take a look in our rear view mirror at our most popular posts from this year! And here’s the deal, there’s actually two different ways to measure the “success” of a post, and those would be… Number of Views… and Number of Comments. So check out the posts below and see if you missed reading any of these popular posts!

So let’s kick it off with the THREE posts with the most VIEWS this year

PPC27: Church Windows– posted on 7/4/22

since the sample we made in our last post turned out to be a bit of a debacle, I went back to the drawing board determined to straighten out the “issue” with the main compartment zipper area! And thankfully after finishing this next sample I am pleased to say that the zipper closure issues are now in our rear-view mirror! Click HERE to read more!

The End of an Era– posted 9/6/22

Way back in 2007 we released a pattern that would turn out to be a game-changer for us. For the better part of 10 years or more this little pattern was a best-seller for us. {click HERE to read more}

The Gorilla in the Wings- posted 2/4/22

in our last post we showed you the “Gorilla” sample for this round of Purse Pattern Chronicles but, for what I do believe is the 1st time in 25 other Purse pattern Chronicle rounds, we were so dissatisfied with our Gorilla sample that we actually opted to make another! {Click HERE to read more)


And now… the THREE posts with the MOST Comments

And actually, there were THREE posts this years that tied for having the most comments.
Here they are in no particular order.

A Tale of Two Gorillas– posted on 10/13/22

So… an interesting this happened on the way to developing the pattern for this new design.

Normally, my first step after getting my idea down on paper (in the form of a sketch), I create a “prototype”, that’s to say that I create a skeleton form of the new design (without a lining and devoid of most interior features), just to get my important pattern pieces working together.

A Stained Glass Bag – posted on 11/11/22

So… in our last post I showed you the first two samples I created in the course of developing this pattern but unusually, they BOTH turned out to be “Gorilla samples”, which of course was pretty disappointing

So it goes without saying that this time I was determined that my next sample would qualify as being true to what would eventually be the final pattern parameters. Click HERE to read more.
