When starting my design journey, I never would have expected how much I would love seeing my patterns and designs on products. The platforms I am using to sell products do a fantastic job at convincing me that I need my own products in my hands. I went through and picked out a few of my favorite items that I will be ordering samples of to make sure the pictures are living up to their hype or if it’s all made up in my head.

From My Website

Summer Fun Pattern Bikini: I was absolutely ecstatic when I found out my website platform offered bathing suits. I always struggle with finding a bathing suit that I like the design of within the price I am looking for. While this bathing suit is more than I would usually want to spend, I think it is worth it because I will be wearing a pattern I love.

• What I will be looking for:

  • First and foremost, I will be looking at the quality of the bathing suit to make sure it is worth the price. I will be also looking at the quality of the pattern printed on the bathing suit.

  • Secondly, I will be looking at the cut and style of the bathing suit. I am a petite person, so a majority of the time bathing suits without adjustment straps, don’t work for me.

Jungle Leaves Pattern Pajama Set: Much like bathing suits, I struggle with finding pajamas in the pattern, style, and price point that I like. While I don’t usually go for a set like this, I was intrigued by the “light and silky” description of the material.

• What I will be looking for:

  • Quality for the price I am paying will be the first test. I don’t feel a need to spend alot of money on my pajamas so this will be the biggest test.

  • Comfort will be the second benchmark. I’m a light sleeper, and if the smallest detail is off in the feeling of my pajamas, it will keep me awake.

Pineapple Watermelon Pattern Scrunchie: The scrunchies are probably one of the things I am most excited for! I think all the the patterns look so cute on them and can’t wait to try one out.

• What I will be looking for:

  • Since my hair is very thick, I will be checking to make sure there is enough comfortable elasticity to hold my hair in a ponytail.

  • I will also be evaluating how the pattern is printed and how the material feels.

Oranges and Sweets Pattern Tumbler: I am a big fan of tumblers this size. It is a little tedious having to manually apply the pattern to the tumbler, but I think they all look amazing.

• What I will be looking for:

  • The first thing I will be looking for is to make sure there are no imperfections where the patterns tile together. Unfortunately with the tumblers, there is no auto pattern tiling feature like so many of the products have, so I have to manually tile them. My biggest concern is how they look at the seam.

  • The second thing I will be looking for is how the lid is assembled. I have had cheaply made tumblers in the past where the lids broke relatively quickly, and given the price of these, I want to make sure they have sturdy lids.

Pineapple Watermelon Pattern Towel and Cozy Book Lovers Pattern Throw Blanket: I am grouping these two together for a couple reasons. One is they are similar in what I will be looking for, and two is they will not be purchased in the first round of sample as they are higher priced items. As much as I wish I could buy all the samples I want right now, I need to stick to a budget (I repeat this over and over in my head daily because I want them all right now 😅).

• What I will be looking for:

  • The biggest thing I am interested in seeing on these items is how the pattern looks and how the materials feel. When applying a pattern on larger items, the picture size needs to be bigger to prevent the image from distorting. Since these are objects with the largest surface area, I am interested in how they turn out.

From RedBubble

Cozy Book Lovers Pattern Journal: I really wanted to try one of the grid style journals from RedBubble. This is another product that I like all of the patterns on, so it was hard to narrow down what pattern to choose.

• What I will be looking for:

  • I will mainly be looking at the paper type and the over all quality/feel of the journal. I need the spiral part to be fully smooth and not sharp on any edges.

Gardening with my Gnomies Design Mug: I am a collector of mugs, and I love punny jokes, so it’s only natural that I would want my very own mug in my cabinet.

• What I will be looking for:

  • I am interested to see how the design looks printed on the mug. I will be looking to make sure that it is printed clearly, with no blurry edges.

Stickers: If you have checked out my website and RedBubble shop, you may notice my full sticker collection is exclusively on RedBubble. While my website host has stickers, I didn’t feel like they were at a very accessible price. I wanted my stickers to be affordable, even if that meant I made a lower profit margin from them.

• What I will be looking for:

  • I will be ordering the matte and glossy style stickers. The main thing I am wanting to know is how the type of sticker looks with the specific designs.
