Feeling like your patterns are missing that something? You're not alone! For over a decade, I struggled with this feeling when learning pattern design. But I've discovered effective techniques to elevate your patterns, making them not only structurally sound but also visually dynamic. This class shares those secrets with you!

Learn practical pattern design fixes through short, self-contained video tutorials – each taking just 3-9 minutes. Discover techniques to strengthen and enhance your designs.

We'll explore the work of four talented artists, with three patterns generously submitted by my own pattern design students. (All artists were compensated for the use of their work in this class.)
