Pattern Commission







I was commissioned to create a retro inspired pattern for a clothing pattern company. The inspiration was 60s and 70s fashion and colour palettes. 
 













I started out by creating ideas around the themes of vintage items and also sewing and fashion. Settling on mid century fashion, I create these portrait illustrations.



I used Illustrator to finalise the design and create a repeating pattern. We decided on making them into cards and collaborated on designing vintage colour palettes. 

After printing, they were sold in a local shop.
