This year I’m trying to be a more organised an proficient pattern writer, so in honour of that, I thought I would try and pull together an organised and proficient list of testers. The list is proficient BTW, I’m not ordering you to be ;o)
The plan is that I will add any volunteers to a mailing list, and then when I have a pattern ready I will e-mail the list. I don’t expect volunteers to test every pattern (unless of course you want to!) and if you volunteer and then change your mind at a later date I promise I won’t hold it against you much at all. Seriously though, you can get out any time, no problems.
The general turnaround time for testing will be around 4 weeks, and all I ask is for you to provide feedback within that time on any areas where you had issues or think that things could be improved. At the pattern launch I will include photos of your tester versions if you are happy for me to do so.
I have this pattern ready for testing now, so this will be the first one offered to the list:
I look forward to hearing from you, and don’t forget, if you are a ‘no-reply’ blogger, please include your e-mail address in your comment in the form: name at host dot com
I would love to test this pattern! I have been planning on making a messenger bag. I don't have a blog, I do Instagram. I have made a few bags but am not an expert, I still need written instructions!

I hope you get lots of volunteers!
I'd love to be a tester! I'm just starting up a small business and am on instagram and Facebook with plans to blog. Fiarthur1@gmail.com
I'd love to test your pattern!
I'd love for you to add me to the list! Thanks for asking us 🙂
I would like to be added to your tester list. And this pattern would be a perfect one for me to test. My daughter would like me to make her a messenger bag. 🙂 gordandalisa@gmail.com
I'd love to pattern test your designs. While I am crazy busy til after March I'd be up for future projects if you would add me to your list. I've been meaning to make a messanger bag. Will just have to buy your pattern when it's released!

I'd love to help you out and bag making would make a welcome change from quilts right now!
I'd love to be a pattern tester!
I would like to volunteer to test again too Katy – love your designs!
I don't have a blog, but would love to test your patterns. My email is beckykearns@gmail.com.
Yes! Yes! Yes!:)
I'd love to volunteer to test your pattern (if you still need more testers!)>
I'm thinking I'm already on your list, but just in case….please add me!
Please add me to your "tester" list. Thanks
Put me down under the quilt heading, in case you design a quilt or two. I love your bags but I am not that quick at bags so not a reliable bag tester at all.
Yes I'd love to participate libertyjersey2014@gmail.com
If you still need more testers I would be totally up for the challenge. I'm not that experienced with bags (especially with the adjustable straps and magnetic snaps thing) but I guess you need that kind of testers, too 😉

Looks lovely ! Good luck to all the testers
I would love to go on the list of pattern testers, studying for exams so it would be a welcome distraction for a couple of hours each week.
I would love to be a tester for you.
Thanks for the chance
I would love to be a tester. I've not made many bags, but am willing to try. 🙂
I would be honored to be considered as a pattern tester for you. I have made a few bags and several quilts and quite a few garments I consider myself a proficient seamstress. (grin)

I'd love ot test this pattern for you — my hubs has been looking for a new messenger bag
I'd love to be a tester if you have room on the list for me. I'm an Arizona, USA blogger and it would be fun to have this to blog about from time to time. :o)
I'd love to test out your bag pattern as I seem to be in a bag making phase!
of course, you've got me on there already, right?? I need another pattern to test, cause this one is like crack and I can't stop making them and I need to break the cycle!!!
Oh how I would love to be a pattern tester. I've made a lot of different bags and of course quilts too. Sign me up and thanks.

Hi Katy, I'd love to be a pattern tester. I haven't made many bags, so maybe I can give you input from the perspective of someone without much experience. Many thanks, Donna
Please add me to your list of volunteers! I have patterntested before and it was always great fun!
Yes, I'd love to test your patterns. I've made many bags through out the years and always am willing to sew some more.
Hello, please add me to your list your list of volunteers.
I'd be honored to be added to your pattern testers list for future projects. I consider my sewing skills to be at the intermediate/slightly advanced level. I currently test purse patterns for SEW SWEETNESS and would love to help you as well. Thank you for your consideration! Take care! Nicki
