PPC28: Testing 1..2..3..4

So… many of you know that one of my favorite parts of the pattern development process is the testing round. I just LOVE seeing what our testers are inspired to create, especially since each one of our testers seems to have their own individual style and several have a real flair for the dramatic!

And here’s the deal… our testers perform a great service for us (and in turn for YOU)
in the process of making their test bags. I can’t imagine publishing a new pattern without their input!
So let me show you what they’ve created this time for our brand-new Double Take pattern!

And now, it’s YOUR turn!

If you like the bags our wonderful testers have created this time and if you’d like to leave them some love for them in the “Comments” section” below I’m sure they’d appreciate it. And if you have any questions about the testing process in general, or any of these bag samples in particular, you can leave those there as well and I (or they) will do our best to answer them!

    The bags they created are gorgeous! I think my favorite is the plaid one, because it looks great and I KNOW how hard it is to match plaids!

      I agree that the fussy-cutting on Shannon’s (plaid) bag is totally amazing! 🙂

    I really love what the other testers came up with, particularly Beth’s rendition. Beautiful fabric with outstanding pattern matching! Always look forward to seeing the tester bags.

    The red and gray plaid brought back happy memories of my favorite pleated skirt in high school/college. Same plaid!

      Ah…. pleated skirts. I remember them well… with knee socks!
