Dear users and authors,
do you like the option to create or use collections?

I use this feature in my shop to organize the items. Since there are no categories in the shop itself, this is a great option.

It’s also a way to group together items that go well together, such as winter clothing or Christmas items, etc.

However, I’m not sure if many users are even aware of this feature or know where to find the
button to access the collections.

Best regards

Michaela

I also find the collections very handy for organizing the patterns a bit.

However, I also think that very few users are aware of this feature.

I’ve been using the collections for a while now. I just read a tip from Ruth about linking to the collections in the individual patterns. That makes it easier for customers to find them. So far, the collections haven’t been that easy for customers to find.

I often use collections when I don’t want to browse through an author’s entire shop. I find them very convenient and easy to find.

I create collections, too.

I usually use them to display models together.

Easter—Kids—Hats—Scarves—Blankets, etc.

That way, when you select “Hats,” you see them all together and have a selection of all models in one image.

I’ve also created collections and use them myself when I’m looking for or want to promote patterns on a specific topic (e.g., Easter, Christmas, animals, doll clothes, etc.).
I’d like to gradually link to the collections in my patterns.

I LOVE IT…it helps me with my nearly 1,500 patterns…
to find things quickly…
customers seem to really like it too—
it’s very practical, after all; you can search more specifically 👀 🔍

I create collections in my shop and use them myself.
And I’ll continue to include links to the relevant collections in the future—that way, they’ll become better known and probably more popular. 😊

Warm regards, Karoline

I really like the ability to create collections. I organize finished patterns into the collections I’ve created and include a link to the collection in each product description. That way, interested readers don’t have to spend a long time searching for other similar patterns in my shop.
