Feb 24, 2016 - Free templates, tutorials, courses and online training for fashion designers to teach them essential industry skills like how to sketch fashion flats & layout line sheets in Adobe Illustrator, how to create tech pack templates, how to be a freelancer, and how to get ahead in their fashion design job. Yeah I've tried that but it always comes up with this 'Patterns cannot contain anything painted with a pattern' BS. Heatwave on September 2009. My problem is I have a view in which the ceiling patterns will not show up. I have a reflected ceiling plan in which I can select ceilings by clicking their borders, so for all intents and purposes I have my view settings correct (I think). The view discipline is Mechanical. The ceiling type is. When you see a lengthen/shorten line, this is the area on the pattern where you will want to either cut and spread out the pattern to lengthen or cut and overlap to shorten. Option Cut Lines. Most patterns will come with more than one option. These options include things like sleeve length, neckline options and hemming options.
Painting patterns has become one of my favourite things to do while watching movies. I find it very calming, similar to those colouring books which were very popular for a while. Its fun and literally the easiest thing to do. If you can hold a paintbrush you can do this.
HOW TO PAINT PATTERNS ON PAPER
How To Make Paint Patterns
SUPPLIES
- Paper. The type of paper you buy will depend on the sort of paint you use. I prefer to use some sort of watercolour paper. But you should also keep in mind what you will be using the paper for. Thick watercolour paper isn't the best if you're wanting to use the patterns as wrapping paper.
- Paintbrushes. Any sort of paintbrush will work. You may want to get a finer paintbrush if you have a very intricate pattern.
- Pencils and ruler. These will be really useful if you want to draw your pattern before painting it. Depending on the complexity of the pattern you may want to try different versions in a sketchbook before choosing your favourite.
- Paint. This depends entirely on the sort of look you want your pattern to have. Watercolour is more transparent, gouache is more opaque.
PAINT PATTERNS
- Draw any kind of pattern you want. The one I am doing is based on a duvet cover I saw in IKEA.
- Paint!

Patterns Cannot Contain Anything Painted With A Pattern
And voilà. You made a pattern. Don't worry about it being perfect. I find the imperfections make the pattern more interesting to look at. You can also use decorative paper punches to make a stencil to trace around. Just like the ones I have done below. If you really wanted to you could transfer these patterns onto large sheets of paper and create your own wrapping paper. If you have the supplies lying around this would be much cheaper than buying your own wrapping paper. It would also make the gift even more special because you make part of it yourself.
