About
I’ve been making things my whole life. Drawing, painting, sculpting, jewelry, printmaking. Art in whatever form was in front of me.
Theatre and costuming added something else. The need to make things that command attention. A costume has to read from the last row of the house. It has to say something the moment it walks on stage. That instinct never left.
Bags became the next canvas. Wearable. Functional. But still a statement. Still art.
K.Azcona Designs is where all of that landed. I design the pattern, figure out how to teach it, and then watch makers all over the world make it their own. That part never gets old.
Bad.Az is a play on my last name, Azcona. But it’s also a state of mind. It means making things that turn heads. Designs that make people stop and say “wait, what IS that?” Being bold enough to follow the creative instinct wherever it leads, whatever form it takes.
Every K.Azcona Designs pattern is built on that instinct. If your creativity takes you somewhere unexpected, you’re in the right place.
Everyone is welcome here. No matter your gender, race, sexual orientation, identity, ability, or culture. You deserve to be treated fairly, equally, and with respect.
The most enduring creative work reflects the world it comes from. We create boldly, support one another, and stand up for the communities that make creativity possible for everyone.
You are seen. You are welcome. You are safe. In our shop, in our patterns, and in our community.
I love collaborating with designers, shop owners, and creatives whose work aligns with mine. Some of my favorite patterns came out of partnerships I never expected.
To license K.Azcona Designs patterns or digital artwork for pre-cut appliqués, acrylic templates, printed panels, or embroidery files, contact me directly.
Every pattern gets sewn by real makers before it reaches you. The Bad.Az Pattern Testers stress-test every design, catch what I miss, and make every pattern better. They’re the reason you can trust that the instructions actually work.
