I am going to be snarky for a sec. Every time a pattern for a little thing gets popular, I get comments like this. I get enough that I have a standard response. And they used to bug the crap out of me, but now I mostly see them as a chance to do a little outreach & education. So let's do that.

Screenshot of a comment complaining about my pattern pricing, and the first part of my response.

The response is too long to fit in the alt text here, but you can find it on my site https://tinynonsense.com/2024/02/22/every-time/

Screenshot of another comment about the price of my pattern, and the start of my reply (which is the exact same reply as to the previous comment, as I said, I've got a standard reply for this nonsense at this point).

My full response is in the screenshots, but the gist is that everyone gets decide what they want to spend on patterns, & designers get to set their prices however they want. My patterns are awesome and I’m completely comfortable with what I charge for them. You can see what’s in this one here.
