I have been wanting to sew for me with my own pattern too. I know how to sew a bit and for stretchy fabric I use a serger but if you don't you can use a regular sewing machine and use the zig zag stitch. You did great for sewing with hand and the dress is lovely.
Thank you for these valuable tips. I am looking into getting into Spoonflower and have zero experience. Your video gave me details I didn’t even consider. Thank you!
Nice dresses. My mother was a seamstress too. She was often sat at that big Singer sewing machine making all our clothes.She tried to teach me to sew when I was young but I wasn’t interested. I really wished I had payed attention to her.

You dont perse need to use 600x600. The issue is caused by not using numbers that can divied by 2 resulting in a round integer number. If you use pixel, than work pixel perfect. For print about the same emplies. I see the issue more when the pattern or size of pattern tile is not a nice round number
Your videos were inspirational for me to become a surface pattern designer. I sell my patterns on micro stock sites and print on demand sites. However, These sites are over saturated with designers and Ai artificial intelligence increased the competition and make it easy for anyone to create designs , I make money from these sites but not not a lot of money. I think it's not possible now to make full time income from selling designs online . It's now really hard to be full time fabric designer
Thank you for your comment and glad you found my videos inspirational. I create better income by combining my microstock and print-on-demand sales with design client projects and was able to build out better income over time with multiple streams as I share in this video. Hope this helps!
@@oksancia It's really hard to find clients, I don't really get offers. may be I should try to offer my service on freelance sites but the market is discouraging as there are lots of designers and not a lot of clients
