Creating repeats in Illustrator is EASY if you know the right tools! This video will show you how to use Illustrator’s built in pattern making tool to create straight or half drop repeating patterns.
We’ll also cover how to define the size of your repeat tile and the trick to add background colors (without cropping your motifs).
Make sure to watch to the end where you’ll also learn how to fill your fashion flat with your repeating pattern and change the size of the repeat.

ABOUT SEW HEIDI
Heya! Nice to meet you, I’m Heidi. I teach fashion designers like you the real world skills you actually need to learn to succeed in this cutthroat industry.
(You know, all the stuff you don’t learn at fashion school.)
I’ve worked as a contract designer for over a decade and run SuccessfulFashionDesigner.com. I’ve been able to make a healthy living doing work I love in fashion.
But I got started just like you, one step at a time. It began with some embarrassing hand sewn dresses and fashion sketches that would make a 3-year-old’s artwork look like a masterpiece.
Then, things changed. I learned how design was done on a large scale. I learned how to get things into production. And I learned all the skills I wish I knew when I was first starting out.
Now, I dedicate most of my time teaching you all of that. This content is hard to find anywhere else (because in fashion, people keep secrets), so I decided to create it...and give most of it away for free.

Hi Heidi! My name is Natalie. I’m a fashion design student at lasalle college in Montreal and one of our classes requires we interview a professional in the field we want to be in. I know it’s far fetched but I was wondering if my teammates and I could interview you. We can conduct the interview via zoom or teams. Please let me know if you’d be interested
