Have you ever looked at a beautiful patterned fabric or notebook and thought, “Wait… someone designed that. Could I do that, too?!"
The answer is: YES
Whether you’re a total beginner or a curious creative ready to learn something new, Pattern Camp is here to help you bring your pattern design dreams to life – with clarity, confidence, and lots of fun.
"I have a little experience with Illustrator, but it's been very difficult and slow learning. Jessica made this sooo easy to understand, and implement. She did such a good job of explaining the steps and why you are doing what you are doing." – Rachelle R
