The new website is live on Esty at DoloadDigitalDesigns (they have a 20 character limit) But the actual website will be called DownloadDigitalDesigns.com but it has not launched yet! I am exicted and thrilled to include my fans in on this! I have about 37 listings on that site currently. I uploaded alot of my vintage ephemera and post cards, so that is what most of the shop consists of so far. Next, I scanned in my dyed papers and pages for journals and some of my original paintings and thats where I was so unsure was the paintings. I want all of the vintage postcards and ephemera, and even my dyed pages for journals to be royalty free and available to use for the public for whatever anyone wants but my paintings I want to stay mine. So I created a section of royalty free clip arts, ephemeras and pages and then a separate section for my paintings, however I may do a print on demand section in the HuggableEarth shop for physical prints as well.
Next to be in the digital store are embroidery patterns, In the hoop style and regular pattern files to stitch out. I have the first dragon pattern nearly ready with the instructional pdf to go along with it. Then I will hopefully be getting all files dropped in for embroidery and sewing patterns. I have many patterns from over the years of my custom creations that need to be digitized and I am so happy to finally have a separate platform for these. Oh and as for the cloth pad sewing patterns currently on HuggableEarth I am unsure if I am switching them to the digital store front as they are pad patterns. I also want to make pad making master classes for sale in my new digital shop as well as journal making master classes and in the hoop master classes with tips and tricks from over 10 years of experience in those sectors. I hope there is an interest in them, I think each will have a couple of options for different versions of the classes and then included will have video tutorials and downloadable pdfs to refer back to.
Now onto free patterns I think a doable amount for free patterns will be every other month at this time. I have currently stopped making made to order items for Huggable and now am full focus on the digital shop for now. I am still accepting orders of whatever is in the shop for sale and will continue prioritize them as I always have and they will continue being shipped in a timely manner!
Next free pattern up for grabs is the 11 row Cutie Curl Tail Cat. He so so sweet and hes super fast to complete. I will do a written guide here on making him and a simple and quick Youtube video for getting a bunch of these cuties made. I am going to be trying to make at least 1 free patternm every other month from here on out for you guys because free is cool! Sometimes it may be a journal page I have digitized, sometimes it may be a painting I did, sometimes it could be an embroidery or sewing pattern and other times you may get a free crochet pattern. I cannot pick a lane with crafting. I am everywhere all the time and I truly love moving from one medium to the next without missing a beat. I hope you guys love the new shop and enjoy trying some new free patterns and hey if you are bored, unbored yourself by checking out my paid patterns on the actual website >^-^<
Thanks guys, truly.
See ya soon,
Kind Regards,
