Have you always dreamed of putting your designs on fabric or wrapping paper?
Maybe a parent or teacher told you that you didn't have enough talent... Or they said you can't make any money at art so you gave up on your dream. Or you got in trouble at school because you doodled all the time!
Join my Doodles Coaching Week and I'll introduce you to an incredible industry called Surface Pattern Design. I'll show you step by step, starting from scratch, how to create your first, or next, beautiful repeating (seamless) pattern using the magic of Adobe Illustrator.
Are you ready?
YES! I WANT INSketch. Color. Pattern Design.
Scroll down for all the juicy details!
Day 1: What is Surface Design?
Look around. How many things do you see with a pattern or design on them? The carpet under your feet, wrapping paper you have left from Christmas, your duvet cover. All of those were designed by a surface designer!
Day 2: Sketch & Import
Eeek! I learned Adobe Illustrator in my late 50s. Even if you've never opened the program before, you can do this! Remember, keep it simple. We can always get fancy later.
Day 3: Image Trace & Color
Are you ready to add color to your doodles? Explore three different ways to add color to your doodles or sketches. This part of the process is SO. MUCH. FUN.
Day 4: Create Your Pattern
This is when the magic happens. Follow my "3 Golden Rules" for creating a perfectly repeating pattern - no seams, no mistakes!
Day 5: Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
Making mistakes is part of the learning process. I'll share the three most common ones and demonstrate how to fix them.

Hello there! I'm Anne LaFollette.
Were you creative as a child but the idea of pursuing your passion was "poo-poohed" by those around you?
Did you love to doodle pretty much all the time and occasionally that got you into trouble at school?
How about this? You really wanted to go to art school but your parents wouldn't let you because: "You can't make any money at that."
Well, my friend, the world has changed! It's entirely possible to share your art with the world and get it manufactured on products IN REAL LIFE!
My story isn't that unique. I spent 30 years in a corporate job until, out of the blue, my boss eliminated my job. In retrospect, it was the best thing that ever happened because I'd probably still be in that job if he hadn't handed me a pink slip.
Leaning into my creativity at the age of 58 was challenging. I didn't know where to start or what I wanted to do exactly... until I discovered Surface Design. I'd never heard of it but after making my first repeating pattern, I was hooked!
I've created this Doodles Coaching Week to introduce you to the wonderful world of surface design which, along with teaching, is my passion.
This Coaching Week is the perfect place to start. Join us. I know you'll love it.
xo,
Anne

What Supplies Do You Need?
• A computer or a laptop - NOT an iPad. A Mac computer or a PC computer is what you'll need to follow along.
• A subscription to Adobe Illustrator. Click HERE to get it now or wait and download the free trial on Wednesday when the Coaching Week starts.
• A few of your sketches or doodles. Keep it simple! The goal is to get you to the finish line with a repeating pattern that works. Bring 1-3 very simple doodles or sketches to the live training.
• A smartphone or a scanner. You'll import one of your sketches by taking a photo of it or by scanning it. Either works just fine.
• Your enthusiasm, creativity and joy!
