Style Pattern Making Tutorials

Once you’ve mastered digital pattern making in Adobe illustrator, you can get on with the really fun stuff – creating hundreds of unique styles from your basic blocks! We define a style as the body or silhouette of your basic block. This could be the body of a dress, shirt, trousers, coat, etc. Once you have created the style, you can then add different design elements such as sleeves, necklines, plackets, facings or pockets to complete your design. To get started, simply select the style from our range (below), create the necessary basic blocks using the Lab and then follow the tutorial in Adobe Illustrator CC.

If there is a specific style or design element that you’d like us to add, follow us on Instagram and leave your suggestion as a comment on one of our existing posts. We’ll review your request and get started. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy our FREE digital pattern making tutorials!
