Have you always wondered how to create a seamless repeat that you could use on fabric or gift wrap or wallpaper? I have been teaching this popular class locally, and I have had so many request to make an online version of it that I finally decided to create a new Pattern Design Series for my skillshare students.

In the first class of this new series, we will focus on creating a basic seamless repeat by hand using the paper cutting technique. We will explore different repeat types, from basics to half-drops, brick or mirror and we’ll create a black and white basic repeat tile and learn how to make flow gracefully.

Your class project will be to transfer your design to kraft paper and create a beautiful sheet of wrapping paper in white and gold. I will show you how to use your paper scraps to create a set of hang tags using my downloadable template from the resources section.

This is a beginners class, no prior experience necessary. You do not need a computer to do the class project or to understand this technique but as a bonus lesson, I will show you how to clean-up your repeat tile in photoshop and how to upload into Spoonflower so you can turn it into fabric, wallpaper or home decor items like duvet cover or tablecloths.

Thank you for joining me on this Pattern Design adventure. I hope you’ll be inspired to develop beautiful and healthy patterns!

Please share your work in the project section and follow me on skillshare. You can also find me on instagram at @lucieduclos

Cheers!
