Symmetry in Procreate: Draw and Sew a Square Scarf

1:53:13
Description
In this class you will learn how to design, print and sew your own square scarf inspired by your travels.
We will collate inspiration from our adventures, make a moodboard and colour palette, then use Procreate’s symmetry and assisted drawing tools to make a square reflective repeat design.
We will send our design to be digitally printed on silk, satin or cotton then hem it by hand to make our own unique scarf!
The scarf can be enjoyed and worn by you, gifted to a friend or family or used as a prototype for new textile products as part of your creative practice.
If you are an illustrator, artist or creative soul with some experience of Procreate who would love to explore textiles as a creative output then this class is for you.
You will need:
- An iPad or tablet with Procreate
- Photoshop
- Needle, thread and fabric scissors
- Newspaper or card to make a template and tape measure
- To purchase your digital fabric printed at 75cm x 75cm (from $9 for cotton)
- Optional: to purchase a digital scarf mock up (usually $15 - 18)
Resources:
- Procreate Symmetry Demo
- Photoshop Scarf Printing Guide

NEW CLASS JUST LAUNCHED!
Create and Install Patterned Wallpaper with Procreate and Adobe Illustrator
I am very excited to announce my new class has just launched! Come and learn how to collect inspiration from your natural surroundings to create your own unique patterned wallpaper, which you can then print and install in your own home!
I will guide you through every step, from drawing by hand out in nature, to making inky marks using natural objects, to digitally drawing motifs in Procreate, then building the repeat pattern and adding digital textures in Illustrator. Finally I will show you how to send your pattern to print on wallpaper with Contrado, then demonstrate the step-by-step process to hang the wallpaper in your home.
If you are an illustrator, artist or creative soul who would love to see your patterns come to life in your home then this class is for you!
