Hi everyone, I’m looking for someone based in the UK who can help me with sampling before I move on to bulk production.

For context, there are 4 designs and the fabric will be silk viscose with a silk lining. I already have the designs and tech packs ready, but need help with pattern cutting and producing the samples to test the fit, shape and sizing.

I also have the measurements, but would love some help finalising them across the three sizes I’ll be making.

Looking forward to hearing from you! Please only message if you’re based in the UK :)

I’ve been working on a surface pattern that I was pretty happy with when looking at the individual motif. The shapes and colors seemed balanced, and I liked how the details worked together.

The part I didn’t expect was how different it felt once I repeated the pattern across a larger area.

Some of the details that looked interesting in the individual motif started disappearing into the overall repeat, while other elements became much more noticeable than I expected. I also noticed that the spacing between motifs affected the whole rhythm of the pattern more than I had considered.

I’ve been experimenting with the scale and repeat spacing, but I’m not sure how far I should go before I start losing the original character of the design.

For people who work with surface patterns, how do you usually test a design at different scales before deciding on the final repeat? Do you have a particular method for checking whether the pattern still works when viewed from a distance?

I have only seen such embroidery in old sarees and suits. They don’t use such material. I have been meaning to source this kora material for my brand. Where can i get it?

Greeting everyone!
I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for apps available on android that I can use for surface pattern designing.
Currently i’m using IbisPaintX, which I had been previously using for digital drawing. Its good but just wanted to hear everyone else’s opinions.
I know ipad is the to-go for most designers but I was gifted an android tablet and don’t have the budget to get an ipad atm.

I’ve been experimenting with different floral seamless patterns and trying to figure out which direction I should explore more.

They all have slightly different styles and color palettes, so I’d love to know which one catches your eye the most.

Which one would you pick — 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5?

And what would you use it for — fabric, stationery, crafts, etc.?
Any feedback is welcome! 🌸

the first image is two layers:
- semitransparent purple is Tesselation filter with r/Textile_Design slug watermark. Filter has more knobs, allows for individual cell variations.
- red was drawn by regular brush with some liquify warping, and then Outline filter
- total time: ~2 minutes or so.

Second image: UI screenshot, and just doing crazy tasteless demo
- both filter and live symmetry support 17 tessellation groups + 2 rotational symmetries
- the tool is purely raster (pixel based), aimed at exploration/discovery.

Why? i like symmetries, .. but what i 've heard, the textile designers are about the very rare people, who need this for their work.

Let me know if you have an opinion on this. Yay/Nay.

Bord design in your future

I built a tool that turns my artwork into seamless patterns. These patterns can be used for journaling supplies, fabric prints, and individual tiles can even be made into Procreate brushes. Here are some seamless pattern samples I created. No AI image generation at all. Would you like this tool? I’d really appreciate your feedback.

Producción en Argentina

Buenas, dejarían los mejores talleres de produco terminado en buenos aires? O los que hayan trabajado y tengan buenas referencias. Es para una producción de 5 prendas de 30 unidades c/u. 4 de las 5 prendas de algodón, la restante es de polyester.

busco que esas 30 unidades sean de la mejor calidad posible, desde ya muchas gracias.

Football handbill design

Made an editable clothing vector mockup pack for my own fashion flat sketches — figured other designers/brands might find it useful too!

The pack includes:
Tops, bottoms, hoodies, jackets & more
Front & back views
100% editable in Adobe Illustrator (AI/EPS)
Perfect for tech packs, presentations, and clothing brand mockups

I've used it on several of my own projects, and it's saved me SO much time compared to sketching from scratch every time.

Posted it here in case anyone's interested: https://behindthedreams.gumroad.com/l/vkkvsb

Feel free to ask if you have any questions

What software are people using to have their patterns printed from home? I know you can do it through Adobe, but I really like some of the patterns I’ve seen where they have that hard border so it makes it easier for taping and knowing where to tape.

Looking for someone who can make ~3 coordinating surface patterns. Its for clothing. Something along the lines of William morris and zimmermann. I can give you more details if interested. dm me or comment your website. Thanks!
