@@sunilkumarpatil2272 Yes, definitely! It's the ONLY way to start the process of turning a "concept" into a designed and rationalized, material reality.
@@beaumichael6252 Oh cool! It makes me happy to hear others enjoy sewing. Tote bags or any bag for that matter is not easy.... Especially if you want to design one that functions well. There is a lot hidden in the construction of a bag. Do you follow any independent pattern makers or do you generate patterns yourself?
Design plus Morna I usually just come up with my own based on bags I see online that have basic patterns and make changes where I see fit or even just try to copy I design I like from images. Looking to get more technical with my designs and draft my own patterns once I find a design I really like haha
@@beaumichael6252 Nice! Have you ever thought about producing your own bags? There is a great home sewing community online. As an alternative to producing your own bags, creating the pattern and selling it to home sewers is another route. I mention it because at one point, I was considering doing this with a shirt pattern I developed. There are some nice benefits to selling digital patterns such as no inventory.
Hey, I'm from Germany and just watched your videos on form follows function. I was wondered when I looked at your follower number. You definitely deserve more! Keep it up. Your videos have an interesting set-up. Maybe you should try different camera angles or just a little more distance to the camera for a more dynamic experience for the viewer. Anyways, I wish you the best of luck :)
I've always got entangled with the technicalities with conceptualising like complex hinge movements, ribbing, inner spacial arrangement of a product etc. Thank you, got an idea
Excellent advice, Morna!! It's so much fun to live with the things you design! I've always wanted to try soft goods, but I've always told myself I'm more of a hard goods designer. I love how easy it is to iterate and change a soft goods design, even at the production level it seems, as opposed to something like injection molding. That's why 3D printing in metal has been so interesting to me. No tool=continuous improvement. -James
Thanks, James! You should definitely try soft goods... especially if you try to make the prototype yourself. It can be like a new form of mental gymnastics! :) 3D printing in metal is an interesting process.. not sure if it is still super expensive. The engineers (where I work) looked into getting some parts printed in metal a few years ago and it was extremely expensive.
Thanks! Sew is pretty amazing, isn't it? :) Yes, absolutely like solving a puzzle. That is the part I like to think of as "mental gymnastics"!! The process can be frustrating but once the puzzle is solved... it's so satisfying.
Hola Morna estoy totalmente de acuerdo con tu consejo, por que de alguna forma siento que así sucedió con migo. Siempre me gusto hacer planos en autocad, y luego eso se convirtió en modelado 3d, y luego se convirtió en impresión 3d, ahora tengo mucha experiencia en Diseño para la manufactura. Hi Morna, greetings from Colombia, I totally agree with your advice, because somehow I feel like this happened with me. I always liked to make technical drawings in autocad, and then that became 3d modeling, and then it became 3d printing, now I have a lot of experience in Design for manufacturing, to sum it up like this.
Thanks Sobhan. There is so much to learn in our profession, isn't there? I've been working for 12 yrs, also have challenges and am constantly learning! haha. I feel like this is one of the reasons why it is so interesting. For me, the learning part is part of the fun.
@Design plus Morna cool video, I am following your advice for my portfolio since at the same time I happen to make slippers by stitching materials together. Keep posting!
Do you currently have a hobby where you make stuff?
@@sunilkumarpatil2272 Yes, definitely! It's the ONLY way to start the process of turning a "concept" into a designed and rationalized, material reality.
I love sewing too! I’m really into making different tote bags and exploring different patterns and fabrics. Love your videos!

your videos are simple but always full of values!

Thanks so much, Igor! I appreciate the feedback and filming suggestions. :)
Great advice and great energy, keep doing and growing this beautiful work!
Thank you so much!
I somehow came across this video after a year and now I’m watching all of your videos! They are so insightful thank you ❤️
Hi Kayla, you are welcome!

great advice. Thank you for making these videos, I always learn something.
Glad to hear it!

Hi Juan, thanks for your comment. It's interesting to hear you've had a similar experience.
thank you morena. It was a very good advice
Even for me, who has been designing for 5 years, I still have challenges with new materials every day.
