NEW APP! PatternDraw is an app tailor-made for drawing patterns on iPad & iPhone. Now, you can sketch, paint, and create seamless repeating patterns in one powerful tool—without switching between multiple apps or relying on desktop software. Pattern: Mountain Time Spent: 6 mins Key Features:
1. Real-Time Pattern Preview

5. Flexible Export Options —— It all started with a question we couldn’t ignore. Two years ago, after launching our first app, FashionDraw, our users kept asking: “This is amazing… but can it make patterns?” As designers ourselves, we knew that frustration. We’d spent countless hours wrestling with clunky, complex software that broke our creative flow. We believed creating patterns should feel natural and inspiring, not like a technical chore. So, we built the tool ourselves. Follow @patterndraw.app for updates, tutorials and to be part of the journey. #PatternDrawApp #SurfacePatternDesign #TextileDesign #PatternDesign #DigitalIllustration #SeamlessPattern #RepeatPattern

CLO is incredible software. But it’s kind of like a Ferrari: it’s most powerful when you already know how to drive 🏎️💨 Digital patternmaking in Adobe Illustrator, on the other hand? It’s the best of both worlds... the closest thing to pen-and-paper pattern drafting that I’ve found 📝 Illustrator gives you the snappy efficiency of working digitally, (Copy/paste to duplicate instantly, no time-consuming tracing) But without the overwhelming learning curve of a software like CLO. And if you want to sell digital sewing patterns? You’re going to need Illustrator anyways ⬅️ I have students come to me with experience using industry patternmaking softwares who STILL want to learn Illustrator bc without it, they’re reliant on factories and graphic designers to bring their patterns to the world. Adobe Illustrator is the only software where you can draft, grade, AND package your patterns for sale as PDFs. I’m resolute that Adobe Illustrator is the best blank slate for building your patternmaking skills. And at the same time I’m OBSESSED with supporting my students to find the most efficient and fun workflows for them CLO3D will no doubt be the next step for many graduates of my Confident Patternmaking & Grading program, and my job is to support them no matter what tools they use. Shoutout to @slowfashion.academy for bringing me up to speed fast with her new CLO3D course!
