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.
7) How to order your new fabric design on Spoonflower.
8) An opportunity to post your fabric design for sale on Spoonflower and start making income with your creative work.

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.

    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.
