Project Update: Samples!!
Hey everyone!
Thanks so much for your patience with me here, samples are finally sorted with the new manufacturer and have arrived!!
Most need small changes, some need big colour changes, and some are very nearly there! The samples are a size large, and I did my best to take photos in okay lighting so you could see what they'd look like on someone.

Dragons
The colours are a little different on this one, but I still really like it!! Open to feedback here, but the only definite change is for the affectionally dubbed 'armpit moon' (named by Pin&Tonic) is to be moved down so it's more prominent on the front.
The socks also need a slight colour change on the pink - it's a bit too close to skin tone.
Teal Fox
The biggest change to this is I asked the manufacturer to test out embroidery for the little fox - they suggested embroidery on top of fur fabric and I really love it!! It would make the little fox emblem really stand out so I wanted to ask everyone what they thought for this.
The other mistake on this is the manufacturer has only got one colour fade - I originally designed it to have two, to fade from teal to dark blue to black. I don't know if this isn't possible since they haven't done it, so I am waiting on a response for this. Depending on what they say, I will combine the fade & clouds to one colour
Purple Fox
I actually really like how this one came out!! Other than the purple colour needing a change, the rest is pretty perfect! Open to feedback on if you think the fox on the front also needs moving down (or it could also be made as a fur fabric embroidery patch?)
Purple Tiger Sweater
This I think is my favourite of the collection! The only change needed is adding more stripes and moving one leaf to the back of the jumper, other than that - this is perfect.
What's Next?
As soon as the samples are finalised, my manufacturer can give me an accurate size chart and then I can (finally!) send out surveys and open up the pre-order store. They will also give me a final quote for each cardigan, which I hope isn't going to be too painful.
Thank you so much everyone for sticking with me through this!!
