Loving This !!!!

So, in my last post I talked about how I was asked to create

a Pattern Step Out that could be downloaded to the computer

and then be available to print out onto their favorite paper.

I still love, always will, the feeling of pen to paper, but I have to tell you,

I have wasted a ton of paper!!! LOL 

I have an iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil, (thank you hubby!) and my

son showed me this awesome program, Procreate. I have used those tools for 

quite some time and loved how I could practice certain techniques,

getting more comfortable with a pattern. Some of my favorite types of

patterns, or tangles, are from using a grid. So, this almost goes without saying,

The next worksheet I designed was the grid. 

.

This may seem to you to be very simplistic, but for me having the

dots, or squares, already there just allow me to start experimenting.

This is a screenshot of using it on my iPad Pro.

Now the beauty behind this is that Procreate allows you to

create by using layers. So my drawing these simple W2, Huggins and Pickpocket

tangles are on a second layer. I can turn off the bottom layer, meaning

the grid, and all you will see are my patterns. Sweet!!!!

I can save what I draw and even save as a jpg and print the "photo" of my design.

I was asked to create Pattern Step Out worksheets, or practice sheets,

so they could be downloaded to the computer and then

printed out on their favorite paper. I was happy to say, "YES!"

BUT ~ I went one step further!

I use my iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, along with

the incredible program Procreate, to draw. I decided that

I wanted worksheets that I could upload to my iPad so I could

practice (and keep) my patterns and tangles that I use for my drawings.

It's a wonderful way to practice and not waste paper!

4 Pattern Step Outs (as seen in picture) that you can print and then cut.

Keep them as a full 8.5" x 11" sheet (store in sheet protector),

or as quarter sheets 4.25" x 5.5",

or cut each Pattern Step Out as a 3" x 5" index card size.

I use Bristol Vellum Cover Stock 67lb. paper.

I have several more styles that I will be adding to our

ETSY Store . .  keep a watch out for them ~ they are awesome!

Have an awesome day!
