If you are learning how to design your own fabric, then this step-by-step fabric design video tutorial is for you.
It is so exciting to hold your own fabric that you designed in your hands! It is even more exciting to create something awesome with it and see it being used and enjoyed. In this video tutorial, I am showing step-by-step how to design your own fabric in Adobe Illustrator. I take you from your idea, to sketch, to your digital fabric pattern elements, to finished repeat pattern tile, to uploading it to Spoonflower, and to ordering it online to have it shipped to you. You will learn how to design fabric prints and to go from sketch to vector to final Spoonflower fabric.
I am talking about:
1) I answer your question: "How do I design my own fabric?" on my own example from sketch to final product.
2) How to pick a topic for your fabric design. What to consider.
3) How to create a sketch of your fabric elements.
4) How to create digital vector elements for your fabric design in Adobe Illustrator.
5) How to create a repeat pattern tile.
6) How to save a JPG file for upload to Spoonflower website.

Finally! You made me get through my Kimetsu No Yaiba cosplay since my mom refused to buy the Giyuu costume so I took matters in my own hands.

I have always wanted to design my own fabric because many times I'm looking for something specific and can't seem to find it anywhere. I am pretty computer illiterate though so the whole process of learning Adobe Illustrator will be daunting but I am going to try. Thank you for this wonderful video.
This was such a useful and informative video. Thanks a lot for sharing this. 👏🏻👏🏻

You have no idea how useful this video is for me! Thank you so much. Will you make a video that explains how to make watercolor patterns in adobe illustrator?
Thank you
Thank you! I want to make my own design to have exclusive clothing in my shop.
This video was most helpful! I'm an artist and also write children's books and illustrate them, so I have a lot of subjects to choose from. I can hardly wait to get started.
Thank you for such an informative video. I have been designing silicone mermaid tails for a fee years now, and I want to start creating quality fabric ones. This is going to be so much fun!😁👍💞

Mahalo mahalo mahalo. Thank you Thank you Thank you. Your tutorial gave me tremendous confidence for my clothing venture. I didn't know where to start or who to ask. I am touring Vietnam soon and hope to create a couple of samples and explore manufacturing costs. But designing and printing the fabric was a total blockage for me. Thanks again.
this is a great video. thank you. I just need to get illustrator as i remember working with it and enjoying doing so. I mostly use firealpaca for drawing if not ms paint since illustrator is pretty expensive. I wanna have custom fabric as I like to design custom witch hats and some of my hats will have patterns on the fabric, especially like planets or flowers and stars. so this is a great tutorial and would be a boost for my business

Hi, Affinity Designer is pretty good and one of the only vector softwares on par with AI and it's a one off purchase. Also there's Gravit Designer which has a free version but the Pro version also comes with a subscription however, it's still way cheaper than AI! Hope this helps.
Thank you for sharing this information on making your own print .😊👍
Thank you very much for this video. 🌼

Hopefully I will be able to print out my own fabric and design my own pleated skirt. Thanks for the video
Very Interesting!!!! You have definately given me a great IDEA. I will try this now.... Thanks a lot.
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. I'm curious because I intend on making custom lamp shades for my custom lamps. I wanted to add some value to it by making one of a kind templates.

Hi dear,I am not good in englis,I am trying to learn illustrator pattern design but I am confused that,what size art board would be for pattern design and what type file format should save for delivering to somebody?
Good video. Seems applicable. (I was looking for at-home creation without a middle-man, so didnt apply it.)
i totally forgot about spoon-flower,Thank you ♥
Hallo I am from Indonesia. I like to see your videos 😊
Oksancia. this was so good! We need someone to design some fabrics for our baby store. Just need the designs, no printing etc. Any suggestions where I could find a designer?
How big is you pink flower on the left? I need to make my image about the same size.
Thank you 💓
THank you, this is great info. How do you assure the pattern will align when its put together? and what size square do you make it?

That would kill the goose that lays their golden eggs. If they stole even ONE design, the word would get out, and they would be out of business.

How did you get the pattern from the paper to the computer.
very nice, but very expensive.
good video hope you keep update :)
The video helped explain the basic application to creating a fabric design using a computer and Illustrator, the only problem is that I am not all that versed in Illustrator. Is there a way to explain how to use the Illustrator program?
Plz show how to print after designed.
Hi @oksancia, this is so comprehensively taught and informative video. I run a digital printing unit, would love to provide printing services
I just want to say that if you are more interested in the fabric part of this business, and not so much being a _pattern_ designer, Spoonflower is NOT the place to go. You get subpar quality fabrics at a really high price. Use Global Sourcing or Alibaba to find better quality fabric providers.
this is beautiful, l am very much interested and would love to have the pdf you mentioned
this is a well developed video. a great breakdown of the process! thank-you.
