(Extended!) Designers: Ribbuild Glow-Up! 💜 Win: $250, 175K $elFee points, 6 Gems


Hey designers!

Today we’re super thrilled to introduce our Ribbuild Glow-Up - and celebrate the release with 10 special prizes you can win :wrapped_gift:

We’ve completely reimagined the pattern-building experience, making it easier than ever to create patterns so you can focus on what you love most - coming up with new, incredible designs.


What’s new?

Our new Ribbuild is packed with a lot of awesome things:

New menus

With new menus and icons, it’s now much easier to find exactly what you need when you need it. From adding photos, videos and charts to finding and replacing a typo (we’ve all been there!) with just a click - Ribbuild’s got you covered.

Modern editing - introducing our toolbar

We removed noise and made it easier to focus on one line at a time. Click into a line and you’ll see a floating action toolbar with everything you need - line mode, media, hide sections, bulk actions, and more.

Help is right where you need it

We added new tours and tooltips, and the help center now lives inside the pattern so you don’t need to exit to find help.

Copy/paste a PDF into one line of Ribbuild

You can paste an entire PDF into a single Ribbuild line to quickly turn a traditional pattern into a fully interactive one. We’re working on full automation tools to make this even easier - stay tuned.

There’s a lot more

From easier materials management to simplified line moving - there’s lots to explore in the new Ribbuild. As always, our aim is to handle things like language translation and unit conversion for you so you can write patterns the way you want and trust that crafters can follow them confidently.


10 prizes, 10 winners - Join NOW :wrapped_gift:

Deadline for uploading: 2026-04-26T22:59:00Z

Terms

How can I join and win a prize?

Upload a brand new pattern and publish it in your Ribblr shop during the upload window mentioned above.

Can it be a pattern I already published elsewhere?

Yes - as long as it was never published on Ribblr before this upload, it’s eligible.

Can I add multiple patterns?

Yes - as long as they were never published on Ribblr before. Each pattern = an entry! More patterns, more entries.

How do you pick winners?

We’ll randomly select 10 winners from the pool of designers who published a new pattern during the upload window. Winners will be allocated their prize in the order they are drawn.

Can I win multiple prizes?

No. Each designer can win a single prize.

How will winners be notified and prizes delivered?

Winners will be announced in this topic and contacted via the email or PM. Please make sure your account notifications/email settings are on and up to date so we can deliver your prize.

We can’t wait to see what you create! Share your new patterns below :backhand_index_pointing_down:


Update: You asked, we listened. Now extended :purple_heart:

You asked us to extend this to give you more time for thorough uploading, testing and publishing. You got it - the deadline is now end of the day of 26 April.

The new builder looks really nice though I’d of loved to see the size option be a bit easier to do. I want to use it to make pattern variations for amigurumi patterns and it gets confusing quickly so I hope it gets a glow up in the future as well. :grin:

It’s always so exciting to see the changes and upgrades constantly happening here though and I’m so glad you listen to the community! Once I solidify the pattern I’m trying to make I’ll be enjoying the new editor a lot!

Can you submit multiple patterns? Or is it one entry per designer? Is it a random drawing or are there criteria for winning?

What if I am in the middle of a pattern? And what if I am going to test that pattern? Will it still count?

11 Likes

For sure- as long as it’s released this week it counts!

i jumped when i went to go do my tester, i thought it was one of those glitches but its AMAZING!!! love it! but wont that mean no testing for it?

Awesome! Thank you :star_struck:

For the pattern? It’s probably best suited for something in testing, or that has already been tested.

so for example, i can put my pattern for testing but they only have 3 or 5 days to finish it, then i release it. Does that count? because i still havent put a pattern out for testing :( but i am doing one , a pretty small one :3
