Evening. I'm just about to embark on a proper project from scratch to make myself a hand embroidered mobile phone sleeve. So I thought it may be interesting to blog about the design decisions I have to make starting with a blank sheet of paper right through to the final finished item.

Design Your Own 1 - Papercuts - Designing Bridges, or, how to avoid confetti and unresolved designs!
One thing I've noticed from being in a variety of Facebook Groups to do with papercraft and the Brother Scan N Cut machine, is how many people are a bit flummoxed about designing their own images and cutting files. One of the key reasons for me choosing to buy the SNC was because, for the first time, I would be able to easily make my own designs and not be tied into buying someone else's.
So, this part of the series is to give some basic techniques and pointers on how to design your own images and cut files so that they
a. look 'resolved' - are pleasing to the eye, the design flows well and feels cohesive and finished, and also
b. work in technical terms - they don't fall apart into confetti or have layers that are impossible to match.
Here's the first one - this falls into the TECHNICAL side of designing your own images for the SNC - all about Building Bridges or Connections between the elements that make up a finished design.
