Founded by Allison M. ClarkA maker-focused printable pattern studio offering a fresh take on the joy of creating
I’m Alli Marie, an independent artist and art educator known for creating value-packed and refreshingly jargon-free patterns for makers of all skill levels. Through thoughtfully-crafted DIY printable patterns and my personal portfolio of past projects (fiber-based and everything in between!), I invite fellow creatives to slow down, experiment with intention, and find joy in their artistic process.
All About Printable Patterns
Each of my printable PDF patterns is designed to be easy to read (size 12 font, black text, white background), with minimal jargon or abbreviations. I write as though I’m teaching a good friend, so you’ll find each pattern packed with tips to help you along the way! All patterns are written in American English with US terms.
-
The step-by-step photo tutorial is included after the written pattern; I recommend either printing out the entire pattern and placing the pages side by side so you can view the photos and text at the same time, or printing only the written pattern and referencing the photos on your device as needed.
Unless otherwise specified in a listing, you should be familiar with basic crochet stitches (slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, etc.). I teach intermediate and advanced stitches using written explanations within the pattern and may link to external video tutorials. All crochet patterns include a detailed supply list and full instructions from start to finish.
-
The photo tutorial is embedded within the pattern directly, with close-up photos intended to help you see each section of the project more clearly. I teach all stitches used in a pattern at the beginning of each PDF; each stitch technique includes both a written explanation and illustrated tutorial.
All embroidery patterns include a detailed supply list (including links to my preferred small businesses that sell my favorite hoops and fabrics!), a complete list of all DMC thread colors used in the design, a black and white traceable pattern, an illustrated color guide, and detailed instructions on how to begin and finish your hoop.
