No truer words have been spoken when it comes to investing in a resource that simplifies, streamlines, and expedites service.
In the beginning...
When I first started recording patterns, it was all about the paper and the pencil, and on occasion felt the need for bending around curves. These elements remain the foundation for sculpting patterns from doll mods. When it came to drafting those patterns for future use, the biggest steps were paid to using graph paper, for their linear grids.
Moving closer to commercializing patterns...
From graph paper and scanning patterns into digital images, we were able to move closer to reaching commercial status, using MS Word for transforming images into true digital patterns. We could have stopped there, because for all intents, this was the holy grail, when you can literally reprint and share.
Room to improve...
Because we strive always to deliver our best, we knew the possibilities for streamlining pattern making was out there, but was it worth the investment? There are many softwares that exist in the network of image editing. But with so many available, the struggle was accessing one that delivered value to customers. For 20 years, Adobe has been a friend to us, allowing us to manipulate graphics and create a variety of graphic artworks. As a trusted brand, the walk was short towards the evolution of creating 2D drawings.
The point of it all...
Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator makes our task simplified. With this simplification, time may be devoted to drafting the instructions and diagrams. Pretty soon our patterns will be available for consumer use!
