I think getting to be a pattern tester for indie designers is super cool. So after only about two years of sewing, it was a honor to get to test out four different patterns for two designers. It is a lot of fun trying out the pattern before they release it, however one has to remember that when they except the offer of testing it out, they usually have a deadline and cannot alter the pattern unless absolutely necessary.
So how do you get signed up to test? Well usually when an indie designer needs testers they ask using social media, for instance the two designers I tested for, I had been following them on Instagram and they added me to their list of names. Then they sent out an email or add you to a private FB group and give you the instructions, pattern, deadline, and any updates.
XOXO,
