About this listen
Not every pattern wants to be hacked—and sometimes, it’s the pattern itself that’s holding your creativity back. In this episode, Jill walks you through how to choose the right base pattern to modify, what to avoid (especially if you're just starting out), and how to make sure your next pattern hack actually works.
She shares real-world examples of how she transformed her Cozy Coat base pattern into everything from the Marley Davidson and Cottage Comforts to a Cooling Jacket and Thunder Wrap—and why those hacks worked. You’ll also hear the behind-the-scenes story of the custom-designed, patented MuckyDog Waders and what made that hack especially challenging.
If you're ready to move beyond simple tweaks and confidently modify patterns in a way that feels creative and achievable, this one’s for you.
