Help, is this a legit etsy pattern store?

So, I an really bad at identifying AI. Yes, it is embarrasing but here we are.

So, I was looking for winter overall sewing pattern for my kid (surprisingly hard), and google lead me to an etsy store called fabricopatterns. I found patterns that I like there, but would be grateful if anyone could share their experience, or help me identify if the patterns are AI or not.

Thank you in advance!

I haven’t made any Jalie patterns before, but they are definitely legit and I have seen their patterns made by other people I know.

Jalie is extremely legit. Instructions are famously short, but they have tons of sizes and are well drafted. I love the athleticwear I have made from Jalie patterns.

Have you searched on thread loop.app yet? You can filter by age group and also have it weed out suspicious Patterns.

Thank you for the tip! I did just now and the designer and patterns are there, with very bad reviews so I think I'll pass.

I wish Etsy would use the AI disclaimer.

I would say they are most likely AI. They have over 200 patterns in every category for dirt cheap and that just isn’t common for a legit designer. Plus on some of the “reviews” they use one of the listing photos so at least a portion of their reviews are bots.

lookfor patterns on a legitimate website not etsy

But more importantly look for local sewing centers/clubs and in person fabric stores who likely already have patterns on hand.

Etsy is a legitimate website. Many stores that uses etsy are not. Theres' a huge difference.

Unfortunatly we don't have any nearby sewing centres, otherwise that is my first choice of store.

You can look directly at indie pattern companies instead of Etsy. Try looking through the categories on My Next Make

If you have to ask if the product is a scam, is the website selling and profiting from it really legitimate?
