Creators! Feel free to

In general, I try to not incite hoarding so there are no GBs on kbd.news.
However, this interactive configurator tool made by catecholate for the KAM Sewing Tin set, dubbed the Tailor, deserves some praise.
You can try it out here: https://www.kamsewingtin.com/#tailor
A dedicated configurator comes in handy if a set like the KAM Sewing Tin offers a LOT of different kits for different layouts and visual options, and the Tailor makes it easier to play with the possible mix of colors and kits.
The set is inspired by cookie tins filled with sewing supplies, and has both novelty and cursive text mods as well as a subtle blue gradient for the tin and a butter-cookie-yellow numrow. Published on Sun 5th Dec 2021. Featured in KBD #55 (source ).
