Show and Tell

3/21/2015

This past week I received another email with a photo of an outfit made using one of my Patterns. Brigitte in Germany, wanted to show me what she'd made for her Bono - a lovely Steampunk outfit - using my Simple BID Dress Pattern. She'd even redesigned the bodice pattern to make a jacket..

I think it might be a nice idea to make a 'Guest's Creative Gallery' with photos of things people have made using my patterns and tutorials. I've been trying to figure out how best to do that - whether to have one Gallery with everything mixed through each other, or to add a 'Show and Tell' section to the end of each separate Tutorial or Pattern page (as photos come in) so that your creations are highlighted in the section that inspired them. But which is better?

It would be much easier to find it under the section that inspired the creation, so my choice would be your latter Q as to where to post. Thank you for asking.

I'd vote for a single gallery so they won't be confused with your own creations.

I think it would be nice to have a single Guest's Creative Gallery.

I think either way would be fine Martha, but personally I'd prefer to see other people's creations separate from yours in a 'Guest's Creative Gallery'.

A separate gallery would be easiest, with a link to the specific tutorial. Either way, a nice idea! A friend of mine has made some really fabulous stuff using your tutorials :)

I think this is probably the best idea, although including a Gallery at the end of a tutorial would also work well with this format Then everyone gets what they prefer - all in one place, but also at the end of a specific pattern or tutorial to show what others have done with it.

I'd vote for the single guests' gallery. You can link to your original pattern at the start of each section.

That's what I've decided to do. Now I just need to figure out where on my website to put it.

A separate gallery. I have used some of your patterns, resizing them to fit the various dolls I have, and would gladly show a few off. I have one doll that fits the pattern without any adjustments. And I have also used your patterns as a jumping off point to make my own patterns. It is fun.

I'm glad you've found the patterns useful. It's also great that you are able to adjust them to fit fit other dolls, and use them to create your own pattern variations.

Thank you for sharing my little Emily. :-)

I'd vote for a single gallery too.
