- If you want to start selling sewing patterns, macrame patterns and other craft tutorials, watch this video first because I’ll be talking about the challenges you need to look out for, how to stand out and position yourself to make the most sales, production, pricing, distribution and a whole lot more!
A pattern business refers to selling the instructions (the pattern) instructing a crafter how to make an item. It can be a knitting, crochet, cross stitch, embroidery or sewing pattern. Or any other craft you can think of like for punchneedle or kumihimo. What I think is the biggest appeal to a craft pattern business is that it’s very easy to scale. Don’t mistake it with a passive income business, because there’s a fair bit of work you have to do so it won’t really truly be passive.

This is the first time I am stumbling onto a channel that doesn't make me feel like I need to parse through the sponsorships to sort out the actual information. You are not in my face trying to sell me anything, you are just here to educate and I appreciate it. You just have your purchasable things in the description where we all know to look for them and don't have to break the flow of the video which is just so...refreshing.
You have gained a new subscriber and I look forward to learning from you because you clearly know what you are doing.
Hi Rebecca, I appreciate you saying that! I look forward to connecting with you!
As a new handmade artist, I'm marathoning your channel. THANK YOU!!
That makes me so happy to hear!
These tips are super helpful! I would also like to add that if you're a crocheter you can make a pattern tester call to get other crocheters to pattern test your patterns on Instagram (lots of crochet accounts do this)
Thank you so much for watching Jingo!! I'm so glad you found my video helpful!! ❤️❤️ Thank you so much for that really helpful info too!! 💕💕
Thank you Mei. Would you be able to share how we can minimize risks of our intellectual property getting plagiarized? It’s so easy to share files around and claiming that your design is theirs.
Hi there, I know this can be a risk in the digital age. Putting your business information on the pattern (in a non-obtrusive way) is one option. Another would be to research metadata. This is information that gets put into a digital file which shows who designed it. And lastly, know that there may be someone who copies your work and it is hard to shake that off but if you keep focusing on your brand and your customers then they won't even affect your sales. :)
First time on your channel and I'm already in love ....great job !!!go ahead girl! you are so inspiring
Aww, thank you so much! I really appreciate you being here!
I'm still learning how to do a pattern and thank you for this video;)
You can do it! Always keep learning and trying new things.
Thank you for this video! Since I’m an hand embroidery artist selling on Etsy, this was really helpful!
You are so welcome Sunskriti! Thank you for watching.
Oh who’s I started watching you when you had like 5000 subscribers! Congrats 🎊
Thank you so much for your support!! That means a lot to me!! So happy you're still here!! ❤️❤️
I have to comment on men's sweater niche - few men knit, that's true, but they still wear hand knit sweaters made by their women (moms, wives, gf) - the only issue is a sweater curse. I still think men's knitwear field is underrated and underexplored. Brooklyn tweed sells great men's sweater patterns. I believe this is a business that could fly.
Absolutely! Thank you for sharing your insights! 😊
Great tips! Thanks! ❤
Thank you so much!! ❤️
Hi. It's me from Umbra Sewing Company. Thank you very much for this information. You have been very helpful
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️
Great video, I’m glad I watched this!! Thanks so much!!!!
Thank you so much for watching Emily!! ❤️❤️
Wonderful tips and information! Thank you!!! 😊
Thank you for watching Iris!
Thank you for the tips. I feel like I would have more traffic with patterns vs me making it and selling the plush. I'm gonna switch and see if there's a difference.
That's a great idea, Zee! If nothing else you can see how it goes and make changes if need be.
I don't design patterns but I have a lot of vintage sewing patterns that I would like to sell. Should I used a video link as part of my selling strategy?
Hi Bertha! Although not necessary, it would be VERY helpful if you could include video links because that way, your beginner customers will have something that they could follow along/refer to in case they need visual resources. Detailed text-based tutorials with pictures will suffice but adding tutorial videos will make it stand out. Just make sure to have everything well-polished before you sell your patterns (i.e. make sure they're quality). You can go back at 9:30 to 11:07 for some tips. Good luck!! ❤️❤️
Great video!!! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much, Nati! I appreciate you watching!
@@CreativeHiveCo thank you!!!! Much love from Argentina!
you are the best
You are so sweet zainab!
Hi! This video was great! I own KnottyAbi and now looking into moving towards tutorials and patterns to create a new line of income rather than me creating items. This was so helpful! I wanted to ask since I am in the Macrame world. Do you know if the patterns that are sold come with some type of copyright or right to recreate for sale disclosure. I feel like that would be a great selling point for me but I am so new to this i dont even know how to word it. Would love your insight on that subject
Hi Abigail! I'm not very aware of rules/laws surrounding patterns so it would be best to reach out to experts. I would also suggest you conduct some research or check other similar shops selling patterns to get some ideas. You're also more than welcome to join our Creative Hive Facebook Group to get some insights from other fellow creatives in the macrame/pattern industry too. Here's the link in case you want to join: facebook.com/groups/creativebizmarketing Good luck and I wish you and your business all the best! ❤️
Hello! I am a graphic designer that specializes in creating clear written and illustrated instructions for knitted and woven projects. Do you know of anyone needing assistance in this?
Hi Rose! Wonderful. I will keep you in mind if anyone asks me!
Creative Hive great thank you!
