Just made a new pair of pants with a bunch of walking turnips.

designbohemian.com How to Create Beautiful Surface Patterns Using AI (Even If You’re a Beginner): There’s something magical about surface pattern design.

The way a simple idea can turn into a repeating pattern—something that can live on fabric, wallpaper, journals, and home decor—it feels like creating your own little world.

But for a long time, pattern design felt… complicated.

This weekend i finished the first attempt. All in all it went quite well and straight forward, but i made two mistakes.

First, i need to be more careful of my thread tension, the first few seams weren´t that nice, but they work so it is fine.

Second, i did cut the elastic for the leg openings (is that the correct term?) too short. I first calculated with minus 15%, but thought that is too much. Yeah, it wasn´t.

Robyn came into the workroom today so that I could get more practice with the Palmer/Pletsch tissue fitting method. In about 2 hours, we were able to go from a single measurement to a pattern tuned at least as well as a second muslin. This method continues to blow my mind with its effectiveness. #sewing #patternmaking
The backpack pattern thus far in Seamly2D (https://seamly.io). Piece mode shows the 3 pattern pieces: Back, Bottom & Front. The Variables dialog window shows some of the parameters driving the dimensions of the pieces.

A 2nd packpack prototype, this time out of Tyvek. The final version will be made out of Ultra 200X which has no stretch and rather stiff. This prototype out of Tyvek shows how the final pack will "feel".

This version is deeper, taller and wider than the 1st version. I refined the bottom shape, which was relatively easy to do thanks to the parametric design in Seamly2D (https://seamly.io).

First prototype in fabric after drafting a pattern in Seamly2D (https://seamly.io/) based on the initial paper prototype. Made from recycled cotton. This prototype validated the pattern while also identifying several areas of improvement.

Starting to prototype my first backpack. Made the initial prototype out of paper to get a feel for the shape I have in mind. I find it easier to iterate with paper and tape before continuing the design in software and fabric.
