Pattern Camp Adventure

Look at the amazing repeat patterns I learned to make at Jessica Swift's weekend pattern bootcamp! | Pattern camp review at I Gotta Create!



I have been in the company of more than 200
wonderful, talented people this past week,
led by pattern designer Jessica Swift.

I enrolled in Jessica's weekend online 
Pattern Camp
and I'm having the best adventure!

This class has been amazing. 


Having never used Adobe Illustrator
or photo shop before, I am thrilled
that in one short weekend, I actually did 
learn enough about both to
create successful patterns.

Yes, those are my patterns from 
my own sketches surrounding 
the "rockstar" button!
