Hi fish fries!! I'm so excited to show off these patterns I've been working on these past few months! One of my very first designs I've made when I started Umvvelt was the Moon Visitor design that has become really well loved since Umvvelt's opening and I, in general, just really love the whales x skies theme so this Spring's release is going to revolve entirely around that theme!
For tho...

Hi fish fries! Wanted to show off a work in progress of a crossbody bag I've been wanting to make for a while featuring a new valentine's day pattern that I will have for the new update next year!
There's a few minor issues with the bag so far (they changed the pattern somehow, the color is too light and the direction of the bag is kind of everywhere) but since this is the first sample, I...

Hello fish fries!
First off, I really want to apologize for suddenly going MIA on patreon with posts and reward previews.

Happy Mola Monday fish fries!!
I've been working on some new apparel designs for the fall/winter season, and I have to say, I absolutely love designing sweaters way more than I do with tees 😂 I love having space to design sleeves! That being said, I did want to dive into having some more hoodies out this season versus crewnecks, since I feel like I have a pretty solid selection of crew...

Hi fish fries!
As I am preparing for the new releases in the fall/winter, I am finally getting around to working on a revised design of the original Mola mola sweater that I first made back when I made Umvvelt last year! It was definitely one of my more popular sweaters but since I've improved a lot with understanding sunfish + sunfish anatomy since, I wanted to retire the design and brin...

Hi fish fries!
I don't think I've shared these yet on patreon, but a few weeks ago my youngest brother (who is big on skincare) jokingly mentioned that I should try making more face/hand towels for our bathrooms to use at home. I bought some shark version ones off of SHEIN a long time ago which I really liked so I wanted to look into making my own and that's how these babies came to exist...

I've been racking my brain over making a bag design for MONTHS now but recently, I've had a few that I wanted to try to implement and this was one of them!
I didn't want to make a bag that was too large (seeing as the market for bags looks really saturated right now and it looks like everyone already owns a huge bag!!) so I wanted to swap and make something on the sma...
