Hitomi Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Here it is, my first pattern I designed. I didn't know designing and writing a pattern was so hard. But this is the final. It's done and in our local quilt store. Gotta get it in the other quilt stores around Hawaii, and maybe mainland.... It's the Hawaiian Sunbonnet Sue, I call it Aloha Sue & Aloha Sam. It's very easy to put together, if anyone one wants to order a pattern, email me I'm so proud of it, LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janette Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Well done HItomi, Out of interest as I am also writing my first pattern for a bit of fun more than anything, what software did you use to type up your pattern and print it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitomi Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Janette, I didn't use a program. I wrote it out myself on my computer and printed it myself. I have a MAC and used my word prosessing program. I had seen enough patterns to know how people format it. I had the cutting written down as I cut out the quilt top. Wrote notes as I sewed it together, then just wrote it up. I had a friend's daughter draw up my diagram laying out how you put together the quit. She used a Window's program. I drew the sunbonnet and copied it on my computer. Made pattern pieces. I know there are computer software to make up quilt tops, but I did mine old school way, LOL!

Mandalei Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Hitome, this is really sweet! Congrats! Janette, what kind of designing are you doing? I use Adobe Illustrator for drafting patterns, and find I have much more flexibility for sizes of blocks (EQ7 only goes up to a 47" block and I needed 57!), although for color fills and whatnot, I also use Photoshop. In addition, if you do decide to submit to a magazine or other publication, the formats in illustrator and PS offer many options. I write using Google docs. Feel free to pm me if you have any other questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
