À propos de ce cours
If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to get your patterns from Procreate into a product-ready format without splashing out on expensive subscription software—you’re absolutely not alone. And that’s exactly why I made this class.
In this class, you’ll learn how to create flexible, reusable templates using Affinity Photo and confidently upload your designs to print-on-demand platforms like Threadless and Redbubble.
Got a collection of beautiful seamless patterns but not sure what to do with them next? I’ll show you how to turn your finished patterns into polished product listings for your print-on-demand shop using flexible, reusable templates. You’ll learn how to create custom mockups, prepare your assets, and confidently upload your work to platforms like Threadless and Redbubble.
What You’ll Learn
-
How to decide which products need custom templates (and which don’t)
-
How to build flexible templates and apply your patterns to them
- How to scale your patterns perfectly and accurately in Affinity Photo
-
Tips for exporting files and uploading them to print-on-demand platforms
-
Ways to easily market your patterns and products with eye-catching mockup templates
-
A streamlined, repeatable workflow to speed up your process
Why Take This Class?
If you’ve ever finished a pattern and wondered what the next step is—this class is for you. I’ll walk you through everything you need to go from artwork to shop-ready product, without feeling overwhelmed. You’ll build a system you can use again and again to get your designs out into the world faster, with less fuss. I’ll also share real-world tips from my own experience to help you work smarter and avoid common mistakes.
Who This Class is For
This class is ideal for surface designers, illustrators, and creative entrepreneurs who want to start selling their patterns on print-on-demand platforms. Whether you’re new to this or already have a few designs under your belt, you’ll leave with a clear action plan for getting your artwork out of your gallery and onto real world products!
Resources You’ll Need
-
At least one finished seamless pattern in jpg or png format
-
Affinity Photo on a desktop computer
-
Access to a print-on-demand platform (we’ll focus on Threadless and Redbubble, but tips apply broadly)

Hi, I'm Rebecca -- but most people call me Becca or Bekki!
I'm a self-taught illustrator, calligrapher, and surface pattern designer with a serious love for neat lines, knitting, and a good cup of coffee. I create playful, cosy, and colourful designs that pop up on everything from fabric to wall art -- you might've seen my work on Redbubble, Society6, Spoonflower, Mixtiles, or in collaborations with brands both big and small.
Over the years, I've had the joy of working with some amazing clients (including a few celebrities), and my work has been featured by Moet & Chandon, You & Your Wedding Magazine, Whimsical Wonderland Weddings,... Voir le profil complet
Projet de cours pratique
As you work through this class, you’ll start with one of your own finished seamless patterns, create a set of reusable templates in Affinity Photo, apply your pattern to those templates, and then upload your designs to a print-on-demand platform like Redbubble or Threadless.
When you’re done, I’d love for you to share a snapshot of your work in the Project Gallery! You can upload a mockup of one of your products, a Pinterest pin, or even a screenshot of your shop filled with your beautiful designs.
