If you like designing as well it&#8217;s something you might want look into, I found it to be a great exercise. It&#8217;s easy to create a pattern simply because you like it. It&#8217;s much harder to create one that has to fit certain criteria and reach a wider audience. Then again, maybe that&#8217;s just me. I think I learned a lot in regards to fulfilling customer expectations through this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/nicolekiefer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/stone-rose-floor-4000pix-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72\" srcset=\"http:\/\/nicolekiefer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/stone-rose-floor-4000pix-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/nicolekiefer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/stone-rose-floor-4000pix-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/nicolekiefer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/stone-rose-floor-4000pix-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/nicolekiefer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/stone-rose-floor-4000pix-768x768.jpg 768w, http:\/\/nicolekiefer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/stone-rose-floor-4000pix-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/nicolekiefer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/stone-rose-floor-4000pix-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, http:\/\/nicolekiefer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/stone-rose-floor-4000pix-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Other pattern are created freely, springing forth just from my imagination, without any guidelines or borders. Those are just as pretty and appealing as the others, but place them on a fabric and it might look a little off and strange. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my opinion pattern look good an most over all print clothing and accessories, but then again I&#8217;m not much of a pattern person when it comes to my own clothing. But I do like creating them because to me they represent control and boundary&#8217;s.
