ACNH Custom Design Clothing Tutorial- Day 1 Design for making tops, no pro app needed

This tutorial show you how to make custom design tops in ACNH using the basic custom design app (not the pro app with all the different kinds of clothing- that will be a different video). Hopefully this helps some folks playing hard mode as it can be useful early game if you want to be able to design your own clothes. The beginning goes over the basics of each tool and can be useful for all custom designs. It then takes you through making 10 tops (including all of the ones in the thumbnail) with additional tips along the way. Includes modifiable pixel grids so you can make each design your own. It includes bows, scarves, different kinds of lines, and more.
Also see Tips for the Pro Designer Tool -    • Intro to ACNH Pro Designer Tools & Tips fo...   (where you can make coats, hoodies, dresses etc.)

The custom color tool is noted at the beginning of the tutorial but is available after upgrading the app. However, all designs in this tutorial only use the color palettes so you can do them at the beginning before upgrading.
