Hello Reader,

​

When designing a pattern design, it can be really frustrating when the layout isn't quite working or when you're close to finishing a pattern only to discover that you can see some obvious holes and gaps.....eeek!

In my latest blog post, I discuss the most common layouts used by surface pattern designers as well as some fixes for common problems and how to solve them.

​

You'll learn:

• common layouts used by surface pattern designers
• why the most common layout is the 'tossed/ random' layout and how it can help you when designing a pattern that just won't fit with the other layouts
• what questions you should be asking yourself when you've finished a pattern
• what to do when you can see obvious holes or gaps
• fixes for common problems

New Fabric Online Shop Opening in June

I also wanted to let you know that I'll be providing ALL of my patterns available to purchase on fabric in my new online shop in June! I'm so excited as this sis something i've been dreaming about for a while now.

​

As soon as it lauches, you'll be the first to know! As a subscriber, I'll be giving you an exclusive discount to my shop for the first week of opening, so be sure to be on the lookout for that in the near future (my pattern below will be available).

​

I know you're going to love all the patterns that will be available as well as numerous colourways for each pattern. So if you like a design, but you're not sure on the colours, rest assured, I'll have plenty of other options available for you!

​

Have a great bank holiday weekend whatever you're up to :)

Remember, I'll be popping into your inbox every month from now on, so see you next on Friday 12th May!

​

Best wishes,

Nicola
