Iām wasting my time so you donāt have to!!! (But donāt worry no fabric ever goes to waste around here)
Here are a few tips for spotting an AI pattern:
1. Itās a complex pattern and itās free/waaaay too cheap *not all free or cheap patterns are AI
2. Cover photo is AI
3. Cover photo looks complicated but pattern looks simple
4. Too many models/backgrounds
5. Shop has tons and tons of different patterns but only been open a month
6. Shop has no social media
7. Typos/warped words or graphics
Can you think of anymore??
There has recently been a huge wave of AI sewing patterns all over the interwebs. The people that make these are banking on you being excited and inexperiencedā¦but youāre not dummy. Donāt waste your time and money and fabric!! Stick with indie pattern designers or trusted larger brands(lots of secondhand options)!
