If you’ve ever wanted to create your own cross-stitch patterns, either for yourself or to sell, you might be surprised by how easily you can do it—and more—with Adobe Illustrator.

In this class, you’ll learn how to set up a new document and bring your design ideas to life with just a small handful of Illustrator’s most simple and basic tools. Once your design is finished, I’ll show you how to match on-screen color swatches to actual thread numbers and create a color key complete with symbols. Finally, I'll show you how to export your finished chart for both print or digital distribution.

Who is This Class For?

Maybe you’re a freelancer looking to expand your skillset or add additional revenue streams by creating your own cross-stitch patterns or digitizing patterns for someone else.
Perhaps you’re an experienced cross-stitcher who just wants a simple, more flexible way to create your own designs without the need for graph paper.
You might just be someone who loves making things and knows that having basic Illustrator skills is a marketable asset in and of itself.
Hobbyists, side hustlers, pros and curious creatives of all stripes are welcome and I’m glad you’re here.

Bonus Goodies

I’m including five custom mockup images I created specifically for this course. I’ll show you how to use ‘em so you can display and promote your finished design like a pro! (Look out Etsy, here you come!)

I've also included DMC color swatches you can import directly into Illustrator so you can hit the ground running!

Materials and Resources

You'll need Adobe Illustrator to follow along. If you don't have it, you can download a free 30-day trial here.

So if you’re ready to dip your toes into Illustrator, create your own cross-stitch pattern and take your hobby or side hustle to the next level—download the class resources and lezzzgo!
