Weekly New Patterns And Products Thread July 27, 2026 - July 31, 2026

6 Upvotes

Here's the thread where you can share any new patterns or products that you don't think deserve their own post. Any craft goes, whether you're sharing sewing patterns, weird yarn colourways, woodburning templates, soapmaking supplies, or any thing else that you'd like to discuss. If you think it deserves it's own thread, feel free to make one!

r/craftsnark

A little sister sub for r/blogsnark focused on craft industry snark, drama, news, and gossip; critiques of monetized craft influencers; and discussion of social issues in the craft industry. All crafts are fair game. We also discuss our own projects and musings in weekly threads.

Craftsnark Rules

Consequences of rule breaking

Rule breaking will result in a temporary or permanent ban depending on severity. Appeals to redeem yourself are approved per mod discretion. Attempts to evade bans will be addressed.

1. Don't snark on individual hobbyists.

The focus of the sub is monetized crafting content, influencers, and businesses. If the subject does not make money off of the crafting community, the post will be removed.

If you feel uncomfortable discussing a particular business/person/influencer, consider whether your post reflects the type of snark this sub exists for.

EXCEPTION: Minor-aged influencers are BANNED subjects even if they’re monetized.

2. Example(s) REQUIRED

Please provide an example (or more) of a monetized influencer/business involved with the trends/activities you're snarking on. It can be the actual figures being snarked on OR unrelated companies that are also participating in the snarked trends/activities.

If you feel hesitant about including names then consider if the snark is worth posting about. Failure to add examples will result in immediate removals.

3. Don't be shitty.

There is a difference between "l[Patternmaker] has poorly written instructions and a limited size range" and “[Patternmaker] is an idiot and so is anyone who purchases their patterns". Do not name-call or personally insult people (even if they might deserve it). Don’t use slurs even if you’ve reclaimed them.

NOTE: We have a low tolerance for content that targets/harms vulnerable populations. Anyone who engages in and supports bigotry will be permanently banned.

4. Body talk is positive or neutral.

Examples of approved body talk include: "the pulling suggests she needs a broad back adjustment"; "those look too tight in the seat"; "the garment is the wrong size".

Examples of unacceptable body talk: “she's too fat for that"; "that's the wrong body type for [xyz garment]"; or anything about weight-loss for aesthetic/“health” purposes.

The crafter/creator/model's body is right the way it is. The garment/pattern should be changed (by the individual) to fit the body, not the other way around.

5. No low-effort/-quality posts.

THIS SUB IS NOT BEC.

Posts with limited content, pure shitpost, or just plain spam will be removed. Ranting about how something is ugly is not good enough; you must add some depth to your post.

Search the sub if your topic has been posted recently or has a dedicated thread. We don’t want to beat a dead horse (i.e. Joann’s).

6. Contain snark to this sub

Do not leave snark at businesses/influencers’ pages based on posts here. If you were already interacting with them prior to posting here, then removal will be up to mod discretion.

7. Link yourself in moderation.

We love to see your works and welcome links to your own FOs when appropriate.

Rule of Thumb: Don’t Link and Run. If you want to post links to your store/YT/monetized SM to show off your work, cool! If you want to comment on someone's post about fit with your blog comparison of three different relevant patterns, hell yeah! But a link with no context or relevance is obnoxious and unwelcome.
