Made a pattern block in one of my classes?

For £35, I can turn it into a digital PDF and keep it on file for you. Then, whenever you have a new design idea, I can create a personalised pattern from your block without you having to start from scratch.

Everything can be done remotely, so simply send me your ideas, inspiration photos or pattern references and I’ll do the pattern work for you.

✨ Pattern block digitising: £35
✨ Pattern adaptations: From £35+
