I created and shared a YouTube video yesterday discussing the rise of AI generated patterns that you can now find on Etsy - with contributions from Sew Over It and Ann Tilley about the work that actually goes into creating a sewing pattern, testing out one of these AI patterns (with hilarious results) and I even got into character myself as an AI slop peddler!
This is a really important conversation to have, not just in the sewing world, but in the wider craft industry as it's happening in other areas too - knitting, crochet, quilt, bag making to name just a few!
