How do you label a Frankepattern? Part Commercial, Part Me, Part Drafted by someone else...
JillyBe Intermediate CA USA Member since 1/20/10 Posts: 3194	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 6/23/12 9:52 PM Is a pattern that's mostly drafted by others - part of it is a commercial pattern, part of it is self-drafted by another self (not me), with touches of mine added to it. Somehow it doesn't seem right to call this self-drafted, even though I put it all together. It isn't mostly one pattern or the other, so it doesn't really fit to label it (in a review) as such. Should I just go with self-drafted, and honor the original pattern makers within the review? ------ http://jillybejoyful.blogspot.com/ a blog about creativity, sewing, vintage sewing machines, and...... life :)

You could call yours a JillyGem.. Don't know the correct term for a Heinz 57 sewing pattern. I am sure there is one though

I'll be sure to check it out. There will be lots of furniture covers there, I presume? ------ http://jillybejoyful.blogspot.com/ a blog about creativity, sewing, vintage sewing machines, and...... life :)

Now that leaves us with: how does one classify it? Hmmm. We do need a Frankenpattern category, but may not get it as the orignal purpose of the site was to do reviews of available patterns. I'm not help at all, am I? Maybe you can find a Frankenpattern review and get more info that way (or contact the person). ------ I have not yet begun to procrastinate

JillyBe Intermediate CA USA Member since 1/20/10 Posts: 3194	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 6/24/12 2:05 AM GL, I don't consider this one self-drafted either, which was why I questioned how to review it here. Sew Ducky, I may just follow your lead. I will do a blog post, but probably won't bother to do a PR review. -- Edited on 6/24/12 2:06 AM -- ------ http://jillybejoyful.blogspot.com/ a blog about creativity, sewing, vintage sewing machines, and...... life :)

Date: 6/24/12 3:24 PM There's nothing new under the sun, and "designers" copy other "designers" all the time.

The Negroni Shirt and my RANT about"Self-Drafted". An interesting read. Sorry I don't know how to link yet. Even Pam says Quote: we might not know just what we should call it (I sure as heck don't know) Why not Frankenpattern? It's such a good picture! Quote: the orignal purpose of the site was to do reviews of available patterns. We can already do a Self-Drafted pattern review- no link to one that's available. The review is of the process and the Frankenpattern is just that. Collaborating on an existing pattern and sharing that sparks ideas. Someone may then pick up a pattern they never would have noticed and push it further along. It's fun, smart and inspiring. Definitely belongs here. ------ Sometimes she didn't always follow the recipe. Pfonzie- my honey Pfaff Creative Performance, Bernina 930 and 830, Evolution serger.
