If you’ve ever wanted to create your own cross-stitch patterns, either for yourself or to sell, you might be surprised by how easily you can do it—and more—with Adobe Illustrator.
In this class, you’ll learn how to set up a new document and bring your design ideas to life with just a small handful of Illustrator’s most simple and basic tools. Once your design is finished, I’ll show you how to match on-screen color swatches to actual thread numbers and create a color key complete with symbols. Finally, I'll show you how to export your finished chart for both print or digital distribution.
Who is This Class For? Bonus Goodies I’m including five custom mockup images I created specifically for this course. I’ll show you how to use ‘em so you can display and promote your finished design like a pro! (Look out Etsy, here you come!) I've also included DMC color swatches you can import directly into Illustrator so you can hit the ground running! Materials and Resources You'll need Adobe Illustrator to follow along. If you don't have it, you can download a free 30-day trial here. So if you’re ready to dip your toes into Illustrator, create your own cross-stitch pattern and take your hobby or side hustle to the next level—download the class resources and lezzzgo!
