How do you create a repeating surface pattern?

For non-designers and surface pattern designer newbie's, it's always nice to know how a repeating pattern is achieved! So I thought I would share my process from sketch, to digital vector to repeating pattern step by step on Instagram. Check it out here on my Instagram page (@JennySurfacePatterns) when I was following along with professional Surface Pattern Designer Bonnie Christine's 5 day pattern challenge.

Take time for a tea break and check out the process!

This is my Pine Cones Sketch repeating pattern featuring on mug mock ups!

Then on stationery!

And also on fabric!

I also crafted some Christmas Crackers from my repeating print!

Pine Cones Sketch Surface Pattern also available in various colourways. I had so much fun with this design! Available for licensing.
