Have you ever wanted to create your own unique fabric design?
Not sure where to start when there are so many classes out there?
Well, this class offers a low tech, low cost, low fuss way to achieve your first repeat pattern! 
In this class you will learn how to create your own repeat pattern design using the Canva Pro app, ready to upload to Spoonflower
By the end of this class, you will have
<ul>
<li>painted your own unique watercolour motifs</li>
<li>captured and uploaded these motifs to graphic design application Canva Pro</li>
<li>removed the background and arranged your motifs into an attractive multi-directional floral repeat pattern</li>
<li>exported the pattern tile ready for upload to print on demand fabric company Spoonflower so that you can order fabric with your unique design on it!</li>
</ul>
The materials needed to work along with this class are

<li>a page or two of 300gsm watercolour paper</li>

<li>started an account with print on demand fabric company <a href="http://www.spoonflower.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">http://www.spoonflower.com</a></li>
</ul>
This is an absolute beginners class! If you have a basic understanding of how Canva works, then that is helpful but not required as I take you step by step through the process. We use the paid version Canva Pro, as it offers the Background Remover tool and the ability to download png files (allowing a transparent background) which is an important part of the class process.
You can get Canva Pro on 30 days free trial (link <a href="https://www.canva.com/pro/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">here</a>) or alternatively use your favourite photo editing app to remove the white areas around your motifs ready to upload as png files to your Canva basic account.
See you in the class!
