Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
Start with rough notes rather than polished language. Name the place, occasion, feeling, shapes, colors, and fabrics already in mind. If a section is uncertain, write “TBD” and include the options being considered.
Advanced instructions
Use precise design language and include known development limits, such as target piece count, fabrication count, construction limits, carryover blocks, or category balance. Treat the final sheet as an editing standard, not a mood-board caption.
