One of the most exciting moments in an artist’s journey is when they finally figure out their process. Everything rests on process for us! But let’s be real - it takes time (and often, a lot of trial and error) to understand how you work best. Ever feel like discovering your creative approach is an expensive, winding road? Same.
The Variety Show is a place to peek into a bunch of different pattern approaches, with pros and cons of each program laid out. We are collaborating to show you there is no “one way” to make patterns. You get to choose. By sharing patterns in 3 programs, side-by-side, you get to weigh out the best options for YOU. We are not going to romance you in any direction specifically. We are going to share our own experiences.
